i wonder if yall realize arabs have five different name structures

english only has two (given name + surname) but arabic. has five. CRAZY

[aluminumphosphorus]

arabs have saying that goes “القرد في عين امه غزال” (el-qurd fi ‘ain ummuh ghazal)

which means “the monkey is a gazelle in its mothers eyes” and i laugh so hard abt it because english could never destroy a person like that

i think we should all start using arabic words and phrases more often because its a beautiful language and also theres not really. english equivalents that have the same vibes

theres also the comedy potential of it. you guys dont know the joy of having your muslim friend text you "hopefully the racists in our city will all get sick and cant go to the protest" and you, as a pasty white guy, responding with "inshallah they get covid"

its a one hit KO every time. its fucking hilarious. theres no english word that has the same effect.

he also once texted me that he got over a mysterious illness he came down with (i think? i cant remember the exact context) and i responded with "subhanallah he is cured"

again, one hit KO. he lost his shit.

what im saying is we gotta normalise arabic. its just a language like any other, and it has some great words. its just like saying "thank god" or whatever, but theres so much variety and nuance. its beautiful

Zionists are saying UNRWA promotes hate and terrorism in it's educational materials to justify defunding it.

The example given was

"Jihad is the gate to heaven"

Jihad which in Arabic means struggle.

THEY AREN'T SAYING FUCKING TERRORISM YOU DUMB SHITS. THEY'RE SAYING FUCKING STRUGGLING AND STILL PERSEVERING IS A FUCKING GOOD THING.

Let's be honest here, Rick Riordan made Blitzen and Hearthstone for all the gigolas shippers out there even if he hasn't realized it yet.

Bugs Bunny could singlehandedly defeat Thanos by dressing up as a TSA agent and setting up a metal detector in the middle of the battlefield saying that all metal objects must be removed if you want to pass on through now stick around for my 2,000 word essay on just how effectively he would convince The Mad Titan to comply
