I'm an alien

I am doing laundry manually. The washingmachine broke and i have a sore and romantic feeling in my spine.
I have the house to myself for the weekend and i am eating someones pretzles, consuming huge amounts of licorice-tea. (oups, licoriceroot) Annie is leaving tonight and Elin is leaving tomorrow and i am never leaving. Cairo is cold today. I sat down on the veranda to warm up a little and it was even colder outside.

Oh funny story; Rae thought it kind of funny that her wax-lady was named Bussy. (concidering the arabic alphabets closest equalient to P is B). Later on i noticed how local women who are close to eachother, friends or of equal class would use this as a nickname. So i ask my coloquial teacher. Yer, i'm dumb like that. At first she thought i ment boss-ee, as in look here/look at me, but when i explained the context (that it was ovbiously a nickname given between women) she said; Ohhhh no it's not bussy, it's pussy, just like in english, and smiled. Leaving the classroom silent. What is pussy in english? she continued in an educational tone, leaving another ackward moment behind, before one of the girls get herself together and says; Do you mean cat? Like a pussycat? Yes, she said, it's something said between women who are of intimate relations, i could for example never call my boss one, that would be haram. NO SHIT SHERLOCK! So there's a whole culture of women walking around calling eachother pussy as a cute nickname, to show how cool and englishspeaking they are.

I couldn't help but wonder if this was sort of the same as me calling my best friend a cunt. Mette, you're a cunt. And i mean that in the cutest, most international way.
