Paschto/Pukhto Slang.

How common is it to call a person who died disgracefully (or to show a lack of respect for the dead) "mordar"?

For example, we might say "banyadam mordar sho" when a bad person dies. Is this a common phrase in other regions? I don't think I've heard it outside of Zazi Pashto.

It's pretty common here, i mean among southern Pashtuns.

We use the word peshtakai (lol, i know it sounds weird) but for ponytail.

Hmm Interesting!!
We use 'Bode/بودې' for ponytail.

Also can someone remind me what is 'Kamsey'? And how to spell it in Pashto please?

Kamsey refers to the method in which woman tie their hair.Called as braid in English.

Pretty sure it's spelled "كوڅى"/"کوڅۍ". I think that's the standard version (at least in Afghan Pashto), but "کونڅۍ" and "کمڅۍ" as you mentioned are dialectal variations.

Nope. I haven't. But let me guess. Is it used for someone who's a showoff? A "mashrot"? Am i right?
I know 'sheri' in Pashto. We use it for 'showing off'. Like, deyra shera shera ma keyzha (fem) Which simply means 'don't show off'.

Hahah. "Kaka sher" means male organ. Show off in our dialect is "zan khayoonai" for a guy and "zan khayooni" if it's a woman.

Someone who does a a lot of "khwaari" on their appearance and clothes is called a "dawli".

I use 'zan kheyle'(sin., unisexual)/'zan kheyli'(plu., unisexual)

Dawli is a proper word commonly used for' trendy and stylish' person.

It's not a complement in our parts. Although it's not an insult it's more like banter.

few posts ago, someone posted about a few english sentences and we had to translate it to our dialect! [do you remember now?]
so I think our Farah Khore translated 'children' as 'Kishnyan', while most of the others said 'Mashuman'!
So I would like to say in the Northern Pashto and Central Pashto we have 'Kuchnay'(just like 'Kishney' but different accent)/'Kiche'(just to remind some of you 'Kichi pichi mashuman') and 'Mashum' both!
In our Northern Dialect 'Mashum' is more commonly used, while 'Kiche'/'Kuchnay' is rarely used(but you'll hear it definitely sometimes).

I've heard a lot of southern people use 'kuchnai' too. But we don't use it. It's always 'keshnai' for us. Kasai people use 'kanklai' for child which is a slang word in our region.

In the Northern Pashto in Pakistan I have never heard kuchnay.Maybe they use it in Afghanistan.Its definitely used in Balochistan.
Some people in the Swat/Dir region use 'kach' to refer to something small , but I'm pretty sure even they use mashum for child.

Its basically the southern term for "rukay/urkay"(the central karlanri term for it is "werkiya/workiya" for example. But yeah its barely used i guess for the same reason rukay is somewhat barely used among northern pashtuns but i have heard it from many southern pashtuns tho here and there.

We use "urkai/wurkai/werkai " all the time. No one says "alaq" in our parts. Although I believe "alaq" is the more recognized term for a young man or boy.
