Definition & Description of Tarsh طرش
Tarsh is a common Najdi slang word used in Saudi Arabia to describe a spoiled or overly pampered child. It’s not a harsh insult — it’s usually said jokingly or casually when a kid expects everything to go their way.
Families and friends use the word when a child refuses to do something on their own or behaves like they’re too pampered.
It’s part of everyday informal Saudi speech, especially in Riyadh and central regions.
