how to know if ur an arab


** You ask your dad a simple question and he tells you a story of how he had to walk miles just to get to school.
**Your parents were ranked first in school.
**Your dad swears at you with words that affect himself (Ibnil kalb)
** You tell everyone that you are a successful businessman back home" when you are really just an unemployed goat herder.
**You feel uncomfortable saying the word 'tease' in English.
**If you are 25 and not married yet, word gets out that ur an old maid.
**Your relatives alone could populate a small city.
**Everyone is a family friend.
** You hide everything from your parents, but they still think they know everything about you, and make you believe that they actually do.
**People are never happy with what you've achieve; if you Graduated from school they'll tell you "Oqbal el Shahadeh el kbeereh", and when u get that "Oqbal el Aroos or Areees", and when you get that "Oqbal ma nefrah be Aoulad-kum", and when you get that "Oqbal ma tefrahu bi shahadit-hum", etc...
**When shops have sales they call your mom.
