RIP Boutros Boutros Ghali 16/2/2016Â
Boutros was the sixth Secretary-General of the UN from 1992-1996 as well as the first Arab & African to take this post.
You know when you have a scruffy old shirt that's in an awful state and stinks, and it's been too small for you for ages? And you've got into fights in it as well and it's spattered with blood, and you'd bought it secondhand in the first place and the guy who had it before you was a criminal on the run who's hiding out in Sharm el-Sheikh? You have 3 options with that shirt: first, you can burn it to get rid of it for good, and go and buy a new one; second, you can have it altered to fit you and buy some new cloth for it, and try to remove the blood stains and the stench; or third, you can give it a good wash and have it ironed with one of those old-fashioned foot-irons and tell yourself: "That's the easiest way and there's a chance I might lose weight again" That's what's happening now with the political system after Mubarak scrammed and went off to Sharm el-Sheikh. We want to set fire to the whole of the old system, because frankly the stench is unbearable now. The army seems to want to give the old shirt a good wash and iron and have us wear it again, and if that doesn't work, they're thinking of patching it up, bringing in a few new people to act as sleeves, and even if the old shirt doesn't have buttonholes, we'll just have to go with it

Untranslatable Words in Egyptian Arabic
Inshallah [إن شاء الله]
Literal meaning is “if God’s willing” but recently has become a term used to buy more time, or indirectly say “no” or “maybe”
Edit: People still genuinely use it for its intended purpose but it has being a thing now to use it like that
