From Zan Studio in Ramallah, Moomtastic Project Hope productions is proud to present this public service video on the dangers of overuse of the word "
And remember, cigarette smoking can be hazardous to your health.
:P

If you ever meet a person from ME/NA who calls you Habibi every other word, try not to take offense. He/She probably doesn’t even know that he’s doing it… and besides, it’s a term of endearment!

Watch the video in that link. It’s nice to see the lighter side of Arab culture in a world full of negatives. :lol:So true!! we say it WAY too much.... bas it's cute, so i'll still overuse it :D

OMGosh! That video was hilarious! I love it! My husband and I just laughed so hard when watching this...I shared the link with him :lol:

I do have to say, I only use habibi for my husband and habibti when referring to a dear sister. I guess I have not been around anyone who might use it too much either, I don't think it would bother me though.

...Now, my co-workers in London calling me "Love" that I have a problem with...that one is reserved only for my husband to use.

DISCLAIMER: I am not an attorney, all information provided is from years of research and personal experiences of those affected by returned visa petitions/applications. If this is happening to you, my personal advice is to research the facts, hire a good immigration lawyer who can demonstrate they specialize in returned/denied visa petitions and applications.
