Beiruty Terms

Ever since I was a kid in school I used to brag and pride myself about being a BEIRUTY. ( I Still do)

I feel that Lebanese coming from outside Beirut have had this jealousy from the people of Beirut.

To express my love for this beautiful city, I will share with you a couple of Beiruty terms that are fading away slowly as time goes by.

Words Don't Mean The Same

When a woman says about a man that he is intelligent, she basically means handsome. And when a man says about a woman that she is dumb he basically means attractive.
