Daily Slang

Vu!

'Vu" is a word in french, was often used on homework assignments in lebanese french schools to mean "noted" or "reviewed", particularly on homework assignments which did not require any grading.  However, this word got into the lebanese day to day young population slang in the end of the 90's, to express agreement to a subject, understanding or simply noting of a remark.  If you are a fan of slang language, "Vu" is in fact very close to "Mesh Ghalat".

 Sample conversation:

Person 1: "What do you say we go to the beach today?"

Person 2: "Vu, great idea"

For those of you wondering, "t3aj / طعاج" - is a Lebanese slang expression originating in the 1990's amongst teenagers literally means "bend", or "warp", but metaphorically expresses dismissal of a person, a person's presence, ideas, or arguments, generally said in a passive aggressive but often comical context.

Sample conversation:

Person 1: "I think civil marriage must be enforced everywhere in the world"

Person 2: "I don't think so, for obvious cultural reasons, this cannot be implemented anywhere, and considerations should be taken"

Person 1: "cultural considerations have nothing to do with it, so it should be enforced"

Person 2: "tab ok whatever, t3aj!!"
