Chai Dabsh refers to Dabsh, an Iranian tea company whose name became a household phrase in Iran after a major tea import corruption case was reported in 2023. News coverage and social media turned the brand name into shorthand for the scandal, and the two words began circulating on their own in memes, comments and short audio clips. Said out loud, the name now works as a compact reference that Persian speakers recognise instantly, which is why it survives as a reaction sound long after the headlines faded.
