If you've attended the American University of Beirut during the last 3 years, then you know all about the new jargon taking over campus.  

There is a specific vocabulary that every AUB student simply can't live without ... despite the fight to resist. 

The words are 'jabbareen' ... ya bro.

Here's your guide: 

1. When you want to express agreement: 'Bcheel'

2. When you want to tell someone 'YES' but you want to sound cool: Akal

*Person A* Shelna ZWZ?

*Person B* Akal

3. When you just want to add some color to your sentence: 'Ya bro'

Whatever it is you're trying to say, it doesn't work without 'ya bro' .. 3anjad bro.

4. When you want to call someone by something other than their name: 'man'

Man la2! Shu hal exam man .. kteer sa3eb man

5. For when you want to shaft someone: 'ensss'

6. Any time you open your phone: 'Maryam Ghandour'

In the early morning, mid-day, late at night ... basically 24/7, Maryam Ghandour is there to keep you company. She is the topic of discussion almost all the time. 

7. Before you even say hi: Ca va?

A great conversation starter, indeed.
