Foolish


Explanation:
The word that you have asked would be normally characterized as abusive but may sometimes be used in films, short stories or novels in a different manner. Still, if you used this term while talking to anyone, they would normally consider it as an abuse, as an offensive word, or at best consider you as an uncouth person if you were a Hindi speaker. The word may be loosely translated as 'foolish' as offensive/abuse words can be tough to translate. You can ask email me individually if you have further queries on any offensive words but please try not to post them.

The foolest


Explanation:
When a person is tried to be termed as one of the foolest or the foolest one, then in an insulting manner, this term is used in Hindi. This word is a slang in Hindi language and should not be used in common use.
