Kabulshit
Noun: The capital city of Afghanistan. Noted for fuck all except a place to buy overpriced Afghani carpets, carbon monoxide poisoning, rampant corruption, non-existent infrastructure, excrement in the streets and a gathering place of choice for dysfunctional westerners escaping reality under the guise of ‘Aid work’ and ‘consultancy’
Adjective: A frustrated and hopeless feeling/attitude derived from living or visiting said 3rd world shithole capital of Afghanistan, usually as a result of putting up with corrupt/inept/inane/inbreed locals and the legion of equally vexing international aid workers who have nothing better to do in their fortified (for good reason) guesthouses in lieu of real work than to bitch and moan about anything and everything, except that is writing books no one wants to read about their experience, mostly 350 page self indulgent tomes structured around the few times they left the city combined with the occasional rocket attack, carpet shopping adventures and piss-ups at Gandamach.
Acute case of Kabulshit result in Westerners wearing shalwar kameez and Masood hats, enthusiastically berating everyone elsein their orbit for not shallowly ingratiating themselves with their peculiar take of the local culture while drinking piss at one of the many drinking establishments across the city that refuse to allow Afghani clientele.
