If you're Arab, you'll relate.
1. Flip the shebsheb
Cause it's rude to let your flip flops face the heavens.
2. Drink molokhiya to have green eyes
This one's especially true in Egypt. Can't believe we fell for this one!
It's yum though.
3. Drink milk to have fair skin
We like our skin just the way it is, but still, it's great for your teeth and bones!
4. Zeit zaytoun and honey ... for everything
Now you're telling me I gained weight, mama?
5. What will the people say?
Uhm, when did they ever stop talking?
6. The "when I was your age" talk
OK, this is universal but I'll bet we hear it way more than others do!
7. Pinch the bride in the knee to get married soon
Wait, what?!
8. Look at someone pretty when you're pregnant, for the baby to look nice
Genetics 101!
9. Your parents trying to curse you but they end up cursing themselves!
Your dad calling you: ya ibn el/ya bent el … (son of/daughter of).
Fill in the blanks with whatever bad word comes to your mind.
Being Arab is fun, don't you think?
