PROUD TO BE LEBANESE !

 

=-=-=-=-=-=-= SPEECH =-=-=-=-=-=-=

 

Lebanese are really distinguished in their accent and style of linguistics.

 

• You constantly mix Arabic, French, and English "Okay, merci kteer, yallah bye!" "Hi kifak ca va" , ''maitre , please , 2el 7seb ''

• Your statements should start with "Enno".

• The word "Wallah" has replaced the word "Really" in your vocabulary.

• You Believe that “Bounjouren” “Bonsouren” are registered vocabulary words.

• You say the words "Stylak" and "Salbe" very often.

• You say "Bolice" for "Police"

• You call a night club "Night" and McDonalds "Macdo"; Abbreviation is a convenient style of communication.

• Your father swears at you with words that affect him (Yilaan Abouk)

• Whenever you see a relative you haven’t seen in a while, you say : ''Yee Shoo mgayar wo mihlaw"

• ''We'll only stay 10 minutes'' means you’re spending the whole day.

• You always say "open the light" instead of "turn the light on".

• You say bye 17 times on the phone, before actually hanging up.

• When you fail, your first words are: most of my friends failed too!

• You’ve taught all your non-Lebanese friends how to swear in Arabic

 

=-=-=-=-=-=-= ATTITUDE =-=-=-=-=-=-=

 

Lebanese have illustrious attitudes & Behaviors.

 

• You are honored to be Lebanese, and you keep mentioning it.

• You feel proud when someone famous or a celebrity has ANY Lebanese blood.

• You have to keep explaining to Westerns that Lebanon is not an Arab Country, it’s “Phoenician”

• At least one conversation a day is about being Lebanese.

• You think you are better than everyone just because you are Lebanese

• When you are somewhere other than Lebanon, everyone around you is stupid because only the Lebanese byefhamou.

• You only buy something expensive enough, because the higher the price the better.

• You only buy unique things; since Lebanese created the word “Unique” and made it their last name.

• You’re always right!

• You are so "Class" while everyone else are "Nawar"

• You hate to wait, while everyone waits for you.

• You never stand in line.

• You don't memorize your full National Anthem.

• You talk for an hour at the front door when leaving someone's house.

• You think that Syrians are the butt of all jokes.

• You always curse Lebanese people when you are in Lebanon, but when you live abroad you only make Lebanese friends.

• You get plastic surgery at least once in your lifetime.

• You can't do anything in life unless you have a Wasta

• If a Cop stops you cause you’ve violated a certain law, God help him since you'll be calling PAPI ...then PAPI will make his life a living hell.

• During the World Cup, you forget what country you're in because of all the Brazilian, German, French, and Italian flags hanging on people's cars, balconies, and all over the streets.

• You say you hate “khalijees” but you’d go and work in Saudi Arabia or Dubai in a heart beat.

• You love to make money fast.

 

=-=-=-=-=-=-= FOOD =-=-=-=-=-=-=

 

Lebanese are known for their great food, loved by everyone around the globe

 

• You have to go to a Lebanese restaurant 6 times a week.

• If you live abroad and coming to Lebanon for a vacation Lebanese Restaurants will be your SPA.

• A meal without Hummus is not a real meal to you.

• You can’t start with anything rather than Tabouleh.

To Lebanese Argileh has become as essential as Fresh Air.

 

• You have to smoke Argileh.

• A good restaurant is measured by how good is their Argileh, and whether the Nara guy is always around.

• If you live in the Gulf, u have to make sure to get Moasal for all your family.

 

 

=-=-=-=-=-=-= FAMILY =-=-=-=-=-=-=

 

Some of us have pretty bizarre family members, Oh well, that’s what you get for being Lebanese.

 

• Your mother yells at the top of her lungs to call you for dinner even if you're in the next room.

• You ask your dad a simple question and he tells you a story of how he had to walk miles just to get to school.

• Your parents don't realize phone connections to foreign countries have improved in the last two decades, and still scream at the top of their lungs when making long distance calls.

• You have relatives smuggling diamonds in West Africa.

=-=-=-=-=-=-= CARS =-=-=-=-=-=-=

 

With a capital “C” when it comes to Lebanese, Cars can be the most important thing in a Lebanese’s life, even more important than having a house. I have a statement that I cite regularly “You Are What You Drive”.

• You think its cool to dance and smoke at the same time.

• You can’t spend the night in one particular Night Club (At least 3).

• You have to eat after clubbing.

• You dress like you're going clubbing, all day, everyday, probably because you do.

• You Can Do The Dabkeh.

 

 

=-=-=-=-=-=-= TRAVELLING =-=-=-=-=-=-=

 

Lebanese are known to visit Lebanon at least once every 2 days.

 

• You are standing next to the largest suitcases at the Airport.

• You would beg the personnel at the airport to allow your excess baggage, as soon as your father stops doing that for you

• When you arrive at the airport back home you find at least 20 relatives waiting to greet you.

• You always have a dream of holding a different passport, since your passport doesn’t get you anywhere without a Visa.

• Getting a visa to Europe or the States is like getting a baby; everybody tells you "Mabrook"

 

 

=-=-=-=-=-=-= POLITICS =-=-=-=-=-=-=

 

Last but unquestionably not least.

 

• You love yellow cause u love "Hezbollah", blue cause u love "future"(muslims), you love orange for "aoun" and red or green for "lebanese forces" and "kataeb"(christians)

i'm adding something to the traveling part:

No matter what country you're traveling to you're bound to find lebanese people there and therefore you have to make sure your parents tell everyone where you're going so that they can send food such as "tabikh" and "labneh" "za3tar", "hommos", "me7che"...because akel l ajenib abyeswech...

so I begin:

 

Abou Abed returned from his holiday in the USA.

Enthusiastically, he told his freinds about the wonderful trip to California.

"Americans are so freindly and so religious- they give all their cities names of saints:San Francisco, San Diego, San Jose.And they liked me so much that they gave me a saint's name too.They called me 'San ofabitch' "
