Saw this by Nahr el mot, it's the name of a drive through market, it literally means:" hand me", as in hand me something. I found it interesting because it combines arabic Internet language and the french "accent aigu" I talked about before. Another sign of post colonial residue.

Saw this also in Sin el fil (or the other area that I forgot) it says:”on the go” or literally ” quiclkly”, it’s a sign for a kind of drive through market. Notice the Internet language in the title:”3al sari3” and notice how they wrote “threw”! We were talking in class about how these english words we see written like this are not “wromg” merely Lebanese people making language their own. Not to mention how the "thru" is written... So which wins? Communucation? Or grammar?

Saw this on a billboard in Kaslik (are you as happy as I am that I finally saw something outside of Dbayeh?!!) In the spirit of easter and the Lebanese tradition of cooking a special pastry desert for this holiday called:"maamoul" in the picture), this add has a double entendre on the latter, which placed in a different context means "done"; hence the ad:"maamoul Al ousoul" I.e. "done the way it's supposed to" &" the original maamoul(the desert)". "Ousoul" technically means origin. Translation problems!

Saw this in Sin el fil or somewhere, I'm not good with directions. It's the name of a street "street Al ghazal" translated from arabic to French. In fact all streets and road signs are in french and arabic, very rarely in english!Post - colonialism? Yes, please!
