Hmm...so romantic.

3ala rasi has many different variations and can be used as an apology or compliment.

Ya kbeeeer! Aka you badass!
5. Shagfeh = A piece
What better way to objectify beauty in Arabic than to describe it as a 'piece'. Ex. Ryan Gosling shagfeh!
6. Wa7sh/Wa7sheh = Beast
After an hour and a half of doing deadlifts, push ups and not skipping leg day, you can call yourself a wa7sh/wa7sheh!

8. Men 3dam el ragaba = from the neck bone
Referring to someone as being part of your bones is probably one of the biggest compliments you can get from a Jordanian. Eve is said to have come from Adam's ribcage, and your friendship came from the bones on my neck!
9. Imshi 3ala rimshi = walk on my eyelashes
You know when a girl walks down the street and a Kia Sephia car filled with guys passes by? For some reason the drivers hits the break and 2-3 guys pop their heads and say "imshi 3ala rimshi"...yeah...that actually happens...or has happened at least once.
