al-3alam ekhwat sharmota, ya 7akeem

I still dont have internet, probably on friday with more updates on Sakura and Nagoya… but for nowm I just need to scream my heart out…

Why the fuck is it that always the third question I get from Syrians [after whats ur name, and where are u from] is, *Men wen ballah, men al-lad2ieh nafsa walla men al-reef?*

3ala 2olet ziad,
al-3alam ekhwat sharmota, ya 7akeem

    eh it gets even longer….after they figure out your seventh grandparents roots and if it turns out to be from the same place as theirs….

    Q: Do u know flani ibn el flani?
    A: Not really into the family members.
    Q: Tayyeb what about flaneh ibn flaneh…
    A: It’s a big family, I hardly know my uncles’ names.

    But for you Yazan, the question if min el balad walla el reef has a different indepth meaning.

    LOL Yazan!
    I heard of another witty variation for this , which I am not so sure of so it might need a further confirmation on your part….
    Another crucial question goes like this:
    Q- 7itini wala Tishrini Al Akh?
    Now if the intended person is not into sport then there will be a quick detour to your version! ;)

    Omar,
    man, its crazy how stealth and smart these people feel when asking that… ya3ni ma ba3ref, enno khayo khalas be22a w es2alny men al2awal 3alawi walla senni la7atta eje2rak w ekhlas.

    Okimos,
    I know…

    Ihsan,
    walaw ya Ihsan, it does not have any other meaning, and its not indepth at all my friend… ;)

    Abu Fares,
    dakhlak bta3ref bet melhem, sakneen tamaman janb makrtab al-ahlieh al2adeem… ;)

    DJ,
    very true on a certain level, but thats only in football…
    I used to play in Tishreen basketball team for a long time, they have different terminology there because the *demographies* are different… ;)
