The other day I was invited to attend the naturalization ceremony of my Moroccan friend. The event took place on the national mall in Washington DC. The most fascinating aspect of the ceremony for me was the tremendous diversity of people becoming US citizens that day. They really came from all over the globe: from Asia to Latin America to the Middle East. I heard Costa Rica, Paraguay, Morocco and Pakistan, among others. This was my up-close and personal experience with the melting pot that makes the United States of America. Neat! [Image enlarges on click] |
je te reconnais Soumia;))))
Nice photo with good background and diversity.
Shagfeh: a choice piece of meat. That’s it’s literal meaning if I’m not mistaken, but it also has a colloquial meaning of something on the order of “hot chick.” If you think about it a moment, you can see how the connection was made. I’ve noticed a number of the fairer sex adopting it as a moniker of their own despite its sexist nature. As I understand it, they’ve done so to defuse the term’s insulting nature by embracing it and in so doing removing it’s power. 🙂
I’d like to also extend my congratulations to our new citizens. Welcome to the USA!
What does Shegfee mean?
Congrats to all the new citizens.
I respect these people for becoming citizens, and doing it legally! I hope they have a blessed life here in America.
Very cool…one day soon you’ll be telling us about YOUR naturalization! Inshallah!
Hey Natasha-I thought I was shagfeh!
Thank you Shegfee!!
I really loved having you with me that day,
Soumia
Oh boy, see the happy faces!!!
