Tarof is the act of offering something in a manner sufficient to demonstrate sincerity, but is simply a facade to appear more genuine than one actually is. It can be shown by conduct, an offer, or by any means in which there appears to be an intent to tender to another. One could think of a tarof as an undisclosed, one-sided, unilateral contract where the offeror is obligated to pay in exchange for the act or abstention from acting. In a case where tarof is present or occurring, the accepting party must first decline the offer or restrain oneself from quickly agreeing to take (abstention from acting). The problems that arise from accepting an offer in a hastily manner are internal and only detrimentally harm the offeror. If a tarof is accepted too quickly, without hesitation, delay or indecisiveness on the part of the party accepting, the "tarof-er" is quick to become offended (meanwhile secretly shocked) and leaves with underlying resentment and bitterness in which they never bring to the surface or openly recognize. However, the "tarof-er" may privately complain to his/her close companion(s) regarding the surprising encounter in order to vent and release their frustration over the other person's inability to first reject or turn down their offer prior to accepting it.
Take-away: It is only custom that you first refuse the "good" or "act" of the "tarof-er" prior to taking/accepting it in order to avoid bitter feelings and to ultimately leave the situation winning.

"Please do not tarof with me regarding the last two khormas in the fridge-- just take them Marziyeh!"
"I have asked you many times Shahrzad not to tarof those custard-filled pirashki's to me if you really want to eat them all yourself..."
"Maman, how many times are you going to tarof that albaloo polo to me?! I am allergic to albaloo's!"
Situation where tarof is involved:
Khashayar: "Please Jamshid, let me take care of the bill" (secretly, Khashayar does not want to pay a penny)
Jamshid: "Azizam, no. It is with love and only proper if I pay" (meanwhile, Jamshid is putting up a front too)
Khashayar: "No, no, no"... (looks at waiter & waves arm implying her to come closer)... "take my card and don't allow this man (pointing at Jamshid) to pay!"
Jamshid (talking only to the waiter but eyeing Khashayar with one eye): "No, no, please! I beg you! Do not listen to him! He does not know what he is saying!" (the waiter stares in utter confusion and uncertainty, and is simply startled by the whole interaction. Unsure as to what to do, she stares at what seems to be an altercation feeling uncomfortable and puzzled. She's not sure how or why things escalated so quickly. Eventually, she takes the card from the more "angrier" man, Jamshid, & quickly rushes to the nearest cash register.)

"Jamesh kon" is the farsi expression, and english equivalent of "get or gather your shit together."
If you have a Persian friend, or happen to have a Persian neighbor who's generally noisy, disruptive, annoying, or just generally difficult, all you have to do is simply request that they..."jamesh kon."
A quick "Jamesh kon" is the most effective way to get a person to self reflect and become more cognizant of their wild and nonconforming ways.

God's humble and righteous servant in the form of a female German shepherd. A faithful, loyal, God sent guardian angel to patrol the earth and protect its caretaker as God's representative. Like the angel that comforted Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane, Shiva comforts, consoles, and strengthens her caretaker, forever accompanying her on earth.

A girl who simply exists and has nothing to offer to anyone other than her physical presence. A non-blob girl should never feel threatened by a blob because a blob lacks all the qualifications necessary to meet the non-blob threshold. In other words, a blob is inadequate, deficient, lame, and simply not up to par. A blob just exists, and that's about it. It takes a lot of work to transition from a blob to a non-blob, and it rarely happens because most blobs are incapable of realizing all that they are to make a change in the first place: a blob.
