Lebanese have a knack for creating words and expressions that nobody has ever thought of. English is one of the languages that we borrow from and tend to distort to its core. Some people don't even know that the actual word is derived from the English language ...

Here are some words Lebanese people have distorted to bits.

1. Emdapress instead of depressed

The word "DEPRESSED" , handwritten grunge brush stroked letterin

2. Empannek instead panic

unnamed

3. Wiz instead of with!!

Is that a substitute for k**** emmak? You have no problem referring to your – non-existent – d*** in Arabic ladies ... but you feel the need to censor this word?

7. Entrapenour as entrepreneur
