Wayne in NJ Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 My son, Joe, and his Egyptian wife, (if you know the Bible, you'd know of ANOTHER guy named Joseph with an Egyptian wife, but that's another thread...), ANYWAY, Joe & his wife, Damaris got me a cool 'Shelby' t-shirt, for Christmas. When I held it up for the usual family photo, all the Egyptians laughed when they read the name! Apparently 'Shel-buh-ee' is a humorous persona/word/something(???), of which they couldn't convey to my simple mind what it meant! They said it's not BAD, just funny! So, if anyone can shed some light on this.... (On a seperate note, you should have seen the looks on their faces/etc., when I introduced them to my Indian neighbor, 'Asheesh', which, being similar to 'hasheesh', the drug(?), in Arabic, as well as English)! Merry Christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
