arunsakda Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 (edited) I wonder what is up with these guys. Is it a thing thing of particular cultural significance? I would think standing up straight instead of slouched backwards with hands clasped behind the back would make one look more appealing, younger, and definitely less corpulent. Why purposely bend backwards? Edited May 23, 2015 by arunsakda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dancer Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Translation: I hate Arabs. Do you? If so could you say something nasty about them here. It'll be kind of cool a bunch of us TVers bashing them Ali Babas. Say something to their face? What do you mean? That's risky. If I had that kind of balls I wouldn't be hiding behind a TV alias would I? Heh, heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casualbiker Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 (edited) What's a dishdasher? My first thought was an amazingly fast dish washer but generally you can't wear those so I surmised I was wrong! Edited May 24, 2015 by casualbiker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 (edited) They have no pockets? Or do they? Looking corpulent is an attribute of beauty? Edited May 24, 2015 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I was so surprised to see a report once about this piece of wear. To us they might look all the same. Indeed there are subtle differences which are enough to identify which country one comes from e.g. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't approach strangers on the street, especially to comment on their appearance or behavior nor did I say anything about Arabs. Dishadasha are worn by many peoples and anyway it is s not valid to assume a person is of a particular nationality based on appearance or costume. The German in Chiang Mai who always wore Scots national dress comes to mind. As none here are able to reply other than to spew a bit of venom I'll ask elsewhere.

Prbkk Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I was so surprised to see a report once about this piece of wear. To us they might look all the same. Indeed there are subtle differences which are enough to identify which country one comes from e.g. It goes further than nationality...to ethnicity/ sect/tribal connection. On a completely unrelated matter, going into a public toilet in Saudi and similar places it is odd but understandable why the ratio of stalls to urinals is about 20/1. Those garments must be a bugger if you need to pee in a hurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You made unflattering comments based on a particular groups cultural dress and physical appearance in attempt to start something and you got called out for it. Now you try and throw fault back on the posters who responded? Poor form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
