Unique Words I've Learned

[floppers]

a sav, in local parlance, is short for saveloy, mini frankfurter, lil' weiner....

"Oont, a camel, an attractive camel, Rai a drop of golden sun, (or not!) Doum a palm tree fruiting gingerbread, Bap, the breakfast of a Scot, Sav, a hot dog that got shrunk, Saz , a lute that's not a lute, Oud, just click on the link, and that brings us back to Oont!". Seeee! it would be easier if there was a laugh button, and maybe a treble clef....

Add suk and souk to suq.

Cool, alternative spellings, same meaning!

I took a table in a suk to sup on a sav. I used a bap to sorb its juices. I was entertained by a saz and oud duo playing a sprightly rai. All while admiring an oont that was tied to a doum.

SAV = the value of a stock before close of business? Or stock @ Valuation? That doesn't seem to fit your use of the word. Hmm ...
Bap = a Scottish soft bread roll often dusted with flour and eaten for breakfast.
Saz (British English) = any of a group of Middle Eastern plucked stringed instruments resembling the lute.
Oud (this one I knew) = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMhp0wAQni8
Rai = A form of popular Algerian music combining traditional Arabic vocal styles with various elements of popular Western music and featuring outspoken, often controversial lyrics.
oont = an attractive camel (right, not just any old one, its especially an attractive one ... LOL).
doum = palm tree in Africa that creates a fruit that looks and tastes like gingerbread.

Educational AND Entertaining!

We need a laugh button. Thumbs up is simply inadequate.

Absolutely! Here's to more emoticons!

While reading Naboka's 'The Madness of It All' I realized I've learned a lot of new words, yet since I don't write them down, alas, I've forgotten them. So I thought why not create an area where we can state new words we've learned and their meanings. Then later when we've forgotten them, we can come back and easily find them here. Then not only can we remember new words we've learned, we can also learn new words that other members have learned as well. Sounds like a win win (my favorite outcome).

So here's a perfect example. I've looked up this word before and forgotten it.

Suq or Souq = Noun. A street market, particularly in Arabic and Somali speaking countries; a place where people buy and sell goods; a bazaar.
