हगना (hagnaa)
verb
A crude, taboo verb meaning 'to defecate/shit'; not used in polite company, but common in vulgar speech and abuse.
Sense
1
:
to defecate (vulgar)
verb, intransitive
Synonyms: मलत्याग करना (malatyaag karnaa, clinical/formal), पॉटी करना (potii karnaa, used with children), टट्टी करना (tattii karnaa, everyday, less crude)
Frequency: low
Cultural Note: This is one of the crudest verbs in everyday Hindi -- roughly the register of English 'to shit,' and it shows up constantly in insults and expletives like हग दिया (hag diyaa, 'shat himself/it,' used mockingly about someone who messed up badly) or भाड़ में जा, हगने का टाइम नहीं (bhaad men jaa, hagne kaa taaim nahiin) style banter among close friends. Polite Hindi almost always substitutes टट्टी करना (tattii karnaa) or जाना (jaanaa) instead.
Common Mistakes: 1) This word is genuinely obscene, not just informal -- do not use it as a casual equivalent of 'go to the bathroom.' 2) Learners sometimes mistake it for a neutral bodily-function verb; native speakers reach for टट्टी करना (tattii karnaa) or जाना (jaanaa, 'to go') euphemistically in almost all daily contexts.

Sense
2
:
to botch/ruin something badly (figurative, vulgar)
verb, transitive Often appears in the compound/completive form हग देना (hag denaa) to intensify the sense of 'thoroughly ruined.'
Synonyms: बर्बाद कर देना (barbaad kar denaa), गड़बड़ कर देना (gadbad kar denaa)
Frequency: low
Cultural Note: Among close (usually male) friends, हग दिया (hag diyaa, 'he totally screwed it up') is a common way to rib someone over a bad performance -- an exam, a match, a job interview. It trades on the same crude body-function image as English 'shit the bed.'
Common Mistakes: 1) This figurative sense is used to mock someone's incompetence or failure -- it is aggressive and insulting, not playful teasing suitable for mixed or polite company.

यार, तूने तो पूरा पेपर हग दिया।
Dude, you totally shit the bed on the whole paper.
(yaar, toone to pooraa pepar hag diyaa।)
