#2 In the sense that "news" implies something that you didn't know before, I'm not sure that the headline "Israeli Angers Palestinians" qualifies as news...

"What's Arabic for 'calm down'?" I yelled.
"As far as I can tell," said Miss Phillips, "there's no such word."

#4 Pals would receive manna from heaven and cry, "Deception! Foul! It's a trick! No butter and no honey - and where's that double-latte I ordered?!!?!"

#5 snellenr - not to upstage P.J. (a favorite of mine), but the Arabic word is pronounced "shway" and means, approximately, relax or cool your jets - or so the contexts I've seen it used in suggested.

#6 sounds a lot like Schwing! (Apologies to Waynes' Worldâ¢)

#7 Mojo - only if it covers Ramallah and Gaza at the same time. And make sure the bas$$$$ is home at the time...
