LOL yes. I told Moh one day he was grouchy he asked what it meant. I told him it meant "crabby"...he asked what that meant, too. I finally just said, you seem to be in a bad mood. He gets it now.
Anyone tried to explain...grouch.....or spoiled?

When explaining "ill/grouchy/moody (not you, kara)/cranky/etc", my husband translated this into "bad humour" due to his British English education. hehehee When he says good humour or bad humour I always think about the song from the Good Humor commercial! I'm the Good Humor Man... :whistle:

Hey, has anybody tried to explain hippies? That was one explanation I got stuck on. I don't know if there is a word in Arabic or not. I went through the whole explanation starting with 1950's mentality to the 1970's and tried to give him an idea of what hippy means. It didn't work.

:help:

Are you a dork like me who gets a tremendous thrill out of shaving your husband's head? He laughs at me because I light up when I have the shaver in my hand. I'm doing it tonight as a matter of fact! :D
Hehehe...Moh says "tall" instead of "long", too. He also says "big" instead of "old".

Speaking of hair...you know what the advantage of having a balding husband is? You get to shave his head for him. :) God I love doing that! I'm such a dork. :blush:

How about "I need a haircut because my hair is getting to tall" lol

I DO THAT TOO!!! hehehe... Mine gets feet and inches confused. When we were trying to get a truck rented for our big move, he kept telling the ppl he needed 17 inches of room instead of 17 feet. It was quite humorous!

why yes, as a matter of fact, I am! Nothing thrills me more than shaving his head! I dunno why... oddly enough, he loves it too. He also likes for me to pluck his white hairs (shaibs) from his mustache, beard, and head... That is my favorite thing to do...

Moh knew what a hippy was before I met him but the way he says it is soooo funny! It sounds like heebez. I suppose you can describe it like...the ppl who were into peace and love, wore huge bell bottoms and smoked a lot of grass. Maybe show him a photo of a hippy. :D

I can't think of any word in arabic that translates into hippie. I don't think the era of "free love, peace, and happiness" has reached MENA yet. :lol:

VJ Hours - I am available M-F from 10am - 5pm PST. I will occasionaly put in some OT for a fairly good poo slinging thread or a donut.

:help:

How about some form of bohemian? Boheme in French? Boemia in italian? It might be the easiest word to translate and come closets to hippie
