It's common knowledge in the Arab World that Egyptian Arabic is, let's say, special. However, it's not considered special because Egyptians are inherently masters of the language.

The reason is that they have a magical ability to create words and phrases that never existed before, can't even be translated, have ridiculously funny meanings when translated literally, or all of the above.

These 10 words and phrases prove that Egyptian Arabic isn't just out of other dialects' league, it's playing a completely different game, one that even the most skilled of translators will lose in.

Word to the wise to anyone learning Arabic in Egypt, don't rely on your dictionary, it will not get you anywhere.
