To be completely factual, there are certain triggers in the Arab world that make you want to scream and get on the next plane out of here.

But this post isn't about these times, but the other times, when we win at almost everything. 

From swear words to mixed grill, here are the things we excel at. 

1. Swear words

While you might think spouting a sleuth of swear words in English might get your point across, you're really missing out on the spit fire of curses we have in the Arab world.

Just remember, if you're not cursing their mother, father, unborn children, neighbors and whole ancestry in one sentence, you're not doing it right! 

2. Ghazl el Banet - Arab cotton candy

Before talking about a specific food, let's just talk about how basically all Arab food is better than Western food.

Cotton candy, fairy floss, or whatever you call it, is all well and good cause it's pink and pretty, but have you tried Ghazl el Banet?

Arab cotton candy is tastier, not as sweet, doesn't vanish the minute its in your mouth, and comes with ice cream and pistachios on top.

No competition.

3. Traffic laws

Sure, you have fast and furious movies that fill you with adrenaline, but we have stunt driving junkies that disrupt our daily lives and get thrown in jail.

Also, you may think that yellow on a traffic light means slow down, but around these parts, it's really just an invitation to race. 

Ha, take that, Westerners. 

4. TV Shows

Americans, we can't help but watch your TV shows, but please, enough with the accidental pregnancy plots.

Take a page out of our books, make your main character's lover actually his long-lost sister, and his mother his father's cousin's best friend's roommate and you've got yourself a best-seller. 

Remember, if it's really complicated and hard to follow, then can anyone really say it's bad? 

5. Barbecues

I cannot stress how terribly sad and pathetic your grills are compared to ours.

You may be grilling big juicy steaks, but come back and talk to me once you've grilled, chicken, meat, kebabs with a wide array of spices. We also grill prawns, burgers, hot dogs, and corn, so really there's nothing you can grill that we can't. 

Oh and we use the leftover charcoal for shisha. Winning is just too easy. 

6. Counterfeit products

So, sure, you may have created the world's best cookie, but can you get that very same cookie for much less from the dekkene down the street at 3 AM?

Probably, but, really, how sure are we that Oreo didn't copy us? 

7. Wasta

"Connections" in the Arab world don't work like you think they do. 

I mean sure, you just graduated high school and your girlfriend's dad got you a nice summer job at his firm.

But how about if you just graduated college and you now have your very own department at your dad's best friend's company. 

Now that's connections for you. 

8. Arab Weddings

Besides the video clearly showing how we win in every way, it's also the perfect place for your mom to play matchmaker.

Tinder? Please. All you need is your mama and her friends.
