كلمة اليوم (Word of the Day)

From time to time, I will post an Arabic expression or word that I find interesting.  Here's the first installment:

"حكي فاضي"

(Hakki faaDii)

"Hakki faaDii" means nonsense/hot air/BS.  Supposedly, some Palestinians in Brooklyn pronounce it as "Hachi faaDii".  Telling people this causes much delight in Amman (my roommate is now a minor celebrity around here).
