You Know You’re Arab If…

July 24, 2007 – 9:36 pm |

I already posted something like this before called You know you’re an Arab when…. Anyway I came across another such list, and thought I’d pick some of the best ones and put them up here. So, basically, you know you’re Arab if…

- You go to Arabic restaurants abroad, tell the owners you’re Arab, and think you’re going to get free food.

- You fight over who pays the dinner bill.

- You don’t use the word “tease” in English cause you feel weird.

- At weddings it takes the bride and groom 4 hours to kiss all the guests.

- You have a gold necklace of your name written in Arabic.

- You feel proud when someone famous or a celebrity has any Arabic blood in them.

- You wear more cologne than deodorant.

- You put olive oil in and on everything and brag about how healthy it is.

- You gossip about your own family…with members of your own family.

- You cook a meal that lasts 3 days.

-You think it’s cool to dance and smoke at the same time.

You can go on here and check out the other post: You know you’re an Arab when…
