When you accidentally say something Islam-related:
Friend: So are you coming to the cinema?
(Eh, if my mom would let me.....5 years later😂😂)
Me: Maybe, I don't know, Inshallah.
Friend: Insha-what?
Me: Nevermind. I can't come.
Friend: NOO, tell me!!
Me: Yoo wassup!?
Friend: Not bad, you?
Me: Alhamd- f-fine.
Friend: You were gonna say something else!
Any more scenarios??
Allllll my EGYPTIAN ARABIC SPEAKING GURLS OUT THERE! You sure as hell will relate to this:
When you say something in Egyptian arabic and everybody who speaks the other type of arabic says you're wrong:
Me: In Masr, we say laban.
Friend: You mean haleeb.
Me: NOOO, I mean laban.
Friend: Then what do you call laban? Haleeb?! You stupid idiot, I'm right!
Me: *knows I'm wrong but makes up excuses why I'm right*
(laban is a type of sour milk-thing and haleeb means milk, but in Egypt we call milk laban even tho we're supposed to say haleeb😂😂)
Me: It's so sa'ah!
Friend: You mean berd.
Me: SHUT THE EFF UP! I meant sa'ah!
Friend: Sa'ah?! That sounds so stupid!
Me: You know what's stupid? Your fuckin' face! Now shut up and let me speak my language.
(sa'ah and berd both mean cold.)
Me: We call it eeysh!
Friend: NOOO, it's called khobz!
Me: IT'S CALLED EEYSH IN MASR!
Friend: IT'S CALLED KHOBZ BY EVERY SANE ARABIC SPEAKING PERSON.
Me: Did you know 50 million people speak Egyptian arabic and legit 99% of tv shows and movies in arabic are in Egyptian arabic so SHUT THE HELL UP.
Friend: But-
Me: MY VERSION OF ARABIC IS MORE POPULAR THAN YOURS. SO HAH!
(Khobz and eeysh both mean bread)

RandomNote: I made this book when I was 14 and there's a lot of cringey things in there and I have definitely changed as a person. The things I put in there do not align with my values anymore and if I had the time to edit this book, I would. SORRY IN ADV...
