Dubialect
7Days has attempted to define "Dinglish" - a unique dialect of English spoken in Dubai. Most of its suggested phrases are rather unlikely to catch on, but a few deserve attention:
how much? - A colloquial Bur Dubai greeting.
lebbed out - State of exhaustion sometimes associated with Peppermint nightclub.
modhesh-fatigue - The state of irritability currently afflicting many Dubai-residents.
my friend - A total stranger.
They missed out a few:
OBE (Old Boring Expat) - those that bore on endlessly about how there used to be "nothing but the Trade Centre" and "we all used to go to Sharjah for a great night out"
Al Shittihad Road - where 60% percent of Dubai's workforce spends 80% percent of its waking hours
Graysian - couple comprising grey-haired paleface, granddaughter-age East Asian lady
Kretin Times - Your No 1 Favourite Stab-Your-Own-Eyeballs Daily Newspaper
Murdhesh - the state of outright grab-a-knife, buy-an-AK47, rent-a-nuke from Osama if one has to drive past that damn grinning yellow maggot one more time

how about starting a phone conversation with "tell me"
Insipid Chagrin - The Blue Souk in Sharjah. Maybe it goes by a different name?
City of Plastic - You're right. I can see how Emirates would really suck without any friends. And I can see how making friends must be difficult for someone like you who comes across as very lazy, judgemental, and homophobic.
Good luck dude. I was just throwing some ideas out there to help.
I find it funny how when you may ask a question such as "How are you today?", you get an answer such as "Too much hot!!"
Got in a taxi once and the driver was holding his head in his hands and shaking his head also. When asked if he was OK, his reply was "Too many paining!" --> poor guy had a headache.
I'm pretty sure the English isn't quite right there... =D
LO frickin L
>>where 60% percent of Dubai's workforce spends 80% percent of its waking hours<<
60 percent percent? 80 percent percent?
You'll be writing "£10 pounds" or "$20 dollars" next...
