"Tazrigh" or "Tarze Tarzigh" is one of the known Persian poetry styles in the 10th century, referring to absurd, meaningless, ridiculous and humorous poems. The style is generally recognized for employing taboo concepts and curse words, marked as being against social norms. Among the poets of this period, Fuqi Yazdi, who has written all his works in this style, has introduced the term "Por-pooch" [full of meaninglessness], which is far more expressive than "Tazrigh". In the preface of his book, Yazdi has referred to the intellectual foundations and literary coordinates of this style, which can be considered as the manifest of poets who employ this style. The present article aimed at introducing the term "Por pooch" and its semantic implications, and then examining the most salient features of this style such as linguistic aberrations, humor and parody.
