lowlife

Non-PRO English to Persian (Farsi) Art/Literary Poetry & Literature Colloquial Dialogue
Greetings,

Please see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-life

A lowlife is a kind of person you can find in every country – he’d sell his own sister into prostitution, murder his own brother etc. if offered enough money.

I'm really looking for a Colloquial Persian word, just as ‘lowlife’ is Colloquial English, almost slang.

All the best, and many thanks,

Simon

آدم پست/بی غیرت

Different words are used for different situations!
For example, for the case you said he’d sell his own sister into prostitution, I suggest آدم بی غیرت.

آدم پست فطرت can be considered more general and may be used for a lot of situations.
