"Sawfaro 3asafir me3deteh" - Lebanese Slang - translates literally as "the birds in my stomach are whistling", to insinuate a great hunger... as if there were starving birds in one's stomach who are chanting for their mom to feed them, with open beaks! Sample Conversation: Person 1: let's go eat at McDonald's Person 2: I think we'd better go to Burger King Person 3: No, I think that... Person 4: (interrupting): GUYS, please make up your mind... sawfaro 3asafir me3edteh... actually, one of them just died... |
