Your refer to your dad's friends as "3amm"....(p.s.numbers implied in words replace Arabic letters that are not in English)

You curse at your teachers or strangers in Arabic

You can spot an Arab a mile away and they have spotted at you because they keep staring.
so i run away from Arabs and they still spot me out

this is me, lol

Your parents want you to become a doctor or engineer.

You use your forehead and eyebrows to point something out.

Your mother yells at the top of her lungs to call you to dinner even if you're in the next room
very typical and I always say, 'i'm here':^D

I never counted. It's just very true

always tell me one hour earlier so I can make it on time,lol

You say bye 17 times on the phone
sometimes I do here in London, can't help it!!I just found my self being hunged up on me,lol

You teach Westerners swearwords in your Arabic
Or we translate all the Arabic swearwords into literal English, that's even worse,lol
