1. An ethnic group who form the ethnic majority in the modern-day Islamic Republic of Iran (they make up about 51% of the country's population). They are also found in significant numbers in the UK, India and Gulf States, such as the United Arab Emirates.
2. A language traditionally spoken as a first language by Persians (see definition 1) as well as by Tajiks and the Hazara people of Afghanistan. Also known as Farsi, Parsi and Dari.
3. Before 1935, Iran was known as "Persia". When there was a country called Persia, its adjective was "Persian" and its citizens (regardless of ethnicity) were known as "Persians". Some people still falsely use the word in this way, in relation to the Islamic Republic of Iran.
4. A domestic breed of cat, notable for its long fur.
5. World-renowned rugs and carpets, exported from Iran to the rest of the world.

people that hark from the country of Iran.
their men are often very hairy.
they often feel alienated because their country is surrounded by arabs, and their country is being run like an arab country, and when they leave their country, they are often mistaken for arabs. when the fact of the matter is that persians hate arabs probably more than any other race on the face of the planet.

Persian refers to an ethnicity which is apart of the much larger Iranian group that inhabited present day Iran, Anatolia (now Turkey), The Caucaus, and Central Asia. The ancient Persians usurped the Median Empire and declared themselves the Achaemenid Pars(Achaemenid persians). Present day Iran now contains many ethnic groups: Kurds, Lurs, Lakis, Arabs, Armenians, and Persians. Most Iranians are mixed because years of conquest, imperialism, and being conquered themselves. They will however often most of the time identify with Persian -- as Persian is infact the dominant culture and language (Farsi/Parsi) within the country of Iran and also heavily influenced the Islamic Caliphates and Ottoman Empire that followed them.
"To say your are Iranian is to say refer to your Nationality. To say you are Persian is to refer to your culture and roots."
"The Turks and Arabs stole Persian culture, language, and science and claimed it as it's own"

The delicate and delightful art of taking a shit and getting directly into the shower. This promotes the the maximum level of cleanliness and increases the enjoyment of taking shits exponentially.
The term derives from the fact that Persians have extremely hair ass-holes and it is well known that simply wiping after a shit will in no way clean the ass-hole to a reasonable level. Therefore they are forced to shower after their shits to ensure cleanliness.

Same thing as Iranian.
A person that is from Iran. A person who has an Iranian background.
The main Persian religion is Islam, and the other religion right behind it is Judaism. There are few Christian Persians.
According to the U.S. government, all Persians as well as all of the Middle Easterners are classified as white (yes, even Indians), even though they really aren't. They should be classified as Middle Eastern.
The Persian Muslims are desendents of Indo-Europeans, or the Aryans, and they were white. But look at them, Persian Muslims don't have pale skin anymore (they are tan, and brown, possibly near black!), they don't have blonde hair anymore (its dark brown and black), and their eyes are brown and black now (not hazel and blue). They ARE NOT Arab!! They speak Farsi.
The Persian Jews, unlike Persian Muslims, are desendents of the Hebrews from Ancient Israel, and they are very close to the Arabs, but they are NOT Europeans. The Persian Jews are are NOT Aryan. They look the same as the Muslims from Iran, they are exactly the same, except of the religions and ancestory. But the same. Their skin colors are tan and brown as well. And NO, Persian Jews aren't cheap (ALL PERSIANS ARE CHEAP AT TIMES), and a lot of Persians need nose jobs themselves, not just the stereotypical "big-nosed" Jew. They speak the same Farsi as Persian Muslims.
