"Bass Balash /  بس بلاش" - Jordanian Slang - this expression was very popular in the late 90's, and was considered super cool. Generally used to mean "Bidoun Moubalagha / بدون مبالغة" ("don't exaggerate!!").

Sample conversation:

Person 2: "" Bass balash man, I was with you, you had one plate and you were full!"
