Who would have known that the Greek word I've been using for "box" is an insult in Urdu😬

I got some weird looks but okay 😅 Not using it again then.

@SW-User what does "air" mean?
SW-User
@eMortal It means nothing in moroccan or standard arabic

If you're talking lebanese or khaliji then it's a derogatory term for a male's genitals but the first letter is pronounced heavily (ع) not exactly like a simple A. No letter is equivalent to ع in English
