Azooza
Dear Gang,
I have a song on one of my CDs that I want to use for a shaabi dance. First, i need to make sure of the translation. There is only one verse in the song. The female singer says, "Ma shirab shih chai, ashirab azooza ana." I do not drink tea, I drink azooza" My question is, what is azooza? Regards, A'isha |

Azooza
Dear Lydia and Gypsy,
Is it a specific soft drink, then? One of my Arabic speaking friends said it means any soft drink even Coke or Pepsi. Do you have a different meaning for the word in other countries? I know it is pretty common for words to have a little different meaning from place to place. Regards, A'isha |

Azooza is a slang egyptian word, it actually means the bottle, and the refreshment (coke, pepesi, whatever), so it's both. The can is called 3elba. In Egypt if you buy a bottle you need to give it back in order to be recycled
 The cans are disposable. |
