A good tip for you GDB_London, If you learn Arabic, you should not say so, when you are in Luxor, even to the Europeans. That way you will begin to learn a hell of alot more, than you ever thought you would........if you get my drift.

Very useful Stan, I am sure GDB_London can read Arabic! This translates as "the brain drain a donkey!". Donkey brain would be "Moch Homar", the ch in moch pronounced as in a Scottish loch and the ar in homar as in car. I will add that liking an Egyptian to any form of animal is a great insult. By the way Muti is not jackass. :mrgreen:

Sorry, missed this post, yes it means die or dead in the feminine. If it was said to you GDB_London I suppose it would translate to something along the lines of "Die Biatch" and has most likely been picked up from films on the TV and not meant literally.

I dont think there is a word for JackAss per say.

Donkey would be the closest match, which is "Himar"
