S is visiting his best friend H and just had a lovely conversations with his mother about the F word.

S and H: What does F%*!k you mean?

Aunty: It’s a bad word. It’s like calling someone a”Humaar”. (Arabic word meaning donkey which people use as an insult”

H: Or a “khanzeer” (Arabic word for pig also used as an insult)

S: It’s bigger than that H.

H: You mean dinosaur?

So watch out for the next big swear word you tyrannosaurus rex!
