    The first line has a yes before and after the laughing.

    They just translated "sickos" phonetically, huh? I wondered what the Arabic word for it would be.

    I don’t think there’s one with the same inoffensive, mildly accusatory, whimsical tone. A less literal translation might have to be Xers of Y shaped and not a one-word label, which doesn’t work for me

    Remember how we all had to learn Arabic from 2021 to 2025, well it's back, and in pog form

    I just checked with my kid’s school, and you’re not going to believe this, not even 24 HOURS since Texas has gone Blue and they’re ALREADY teaching Arabic numbers to kids! Can you believe it!?

    Maybe I will. It seems like a beautiful language.

    What's the downside? Learning a language, with a completely different structure, would be an amazing thing to have in the toolkit.

    It'd be quite interesting to compare it against English and see where the similarities and differences are, for something with very different roots.
