意思
To cause someone to lose their source of income or job.
文化背景
Bread is considered 'Barakat' (blessing). Dropping bread on the floor is a sign of disrespect to God's gifts. This makes the idiom 'bricking bread' particularly offensive and emotionally charged. In the traditional Bazaar, there is an unwritten code of 'Javanmardi' (chivalry). Ruining a neighbor's business ('ajor kardan-e nan') is seen as the ultimate betrayal of this code. Many social realist films (like those of Asghar Farhadi) revolve around the fear of losing one's 'Aberoo' (reputation) and 'Nan' (livelihood). The concept of 'Ruzi-ye Halal' (rightfully earned sustenance) is central. Interfering with someone's 'Halal' income is considered a 'Hagh-on-nas' (violation of people's rights), which is a grave sin.
The Power of Bread
Remember that using this phrase is a serious accusation. It implies the other person is heartless.
Tehran Dialect
In Tehran, say 'Noon' instead of 'Nan' to sound more like a local: 'Noonamo ajor kard'.
