Ejet el Kahraba Book Signing

What’s so flattering about a girl being compared to an ‘Ashta’? What does ‘Za77et’ (slide) have to do with leaving? Who the hell is ‘3arous Labne’ (Bride of Labne?!) And just how do you explain to your Scottish friend that telling a baby ‘yo2borne’ (to bury you) is really not morbid, only excessively cute?
‘Ejet el Kahraba’ is an attempt to understand the Lebanese dialect commonly referred to as ‘Arabic’, a sort of our very own Lebanese ‘Lost in Translation’.
