It's funny how freely the word pariah is used in english. When I was a kid my parents used to tell me never ever to say that word, and that I might get arrested

It's funny how freely the word pariah is used in english. When I was a kid my parents used to tell me never ever to say that word, and that I might get arrested if I do. I never dug into this to find out why but that's a super taboo word in tamilnadu.
- cmrajan 5y agoYes, but in english it's simply used to mean as outcast instead of all the social connotations that it carries from it's originating language Tamil.
