The fact that countless English words originate from the Arabic language is no longer surprising.

However, some English words are pronounced just the same in Arabic, without necessarily being borrowed from the latter.

But ... boy do their meanings differ...

Here are seven English words that are actually cuss words in Arabic ... so better watch out the next time you say them in public:

1. Kiss = Kis em*k

2. Air = Ayre

3. Maniac = Manyak

4. Biz (showbiz) = Biz

5. Tease = Tiz

6. Intake = Entek

7. Moss = Moss
