意思
A person who roams or acts without any restraint.
文化背景
The phrase is linked to the 'Shraddha' ceremony where a bull is released. It shows how religious rituals influence everyday language. In villages, actual 'Dharmer Shāṛ' are still seen. They are often a nuisance to farmers, which is why the idiom is so negative. In cities, it's used for 'Para' (neighborhood) boys who don't work and just hang out at tea stalls. Authors like Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay used this idiom to critique the decay of the landed gentry (Zamindars).
Don't use with elders
Never use this to describe an elder in your family, even if they are lazy. It is considered highly disrespectful.
Use 'moto' for safety
If you want to be slightly less insulting, say 'Dharmer shāṛer moto' (like a...) instead of 'Dharmer shāṛ' (is a...).

Understand the irony
The humor comes from the fact that the person thinks they are 'sacred' or 'special' like the bull, but everyone else just sees them as a nuisance.
