Arabic can be weird
So today it hit me, some idioms in Arabic can make absolutely no sense LOL
The other day, I was about to provide a presentation to the team, so everyone was around me. Then I received a message and glimpsed at it and I just smiled to my phone..
Later my colleague told me that my smile was very suspicious and obvious; was this "the weather" messaging you? 😏
Yea, the weather!!! It is a slang for "lover" in Arabic 🤣 I think mostly in Egyptian dialect though.. Yet I think other Arabs started using it too (Actually Egyptian dialect is very popular and many Arabs borrow from it when they want to sound funny).. and this word is usually used when you are trying to be a bit funny .. So it is not like you would be in a serious sitting, and be like, the weather is calling me, as in my bf/gf.. Please don't try that. lol
But I've been hearing this word since ever.. Idk why it hit me only today as who was the first person to ever call it that, and how the heck such a slang came about lol
