how to spot a lebanese in the middle east

when their eyebrows and forehead are raised at the same time, they can mean yes or they can mean no, you figure it out!

they use a mixture of different languages to convey a simple statement - hi! kifak? cava? 

every lebanese has an in born talent of prescribing you any medicine you might need - laxatives, anti allergies, antibiotics

did you know that they invented the alphabet?

the marriage of a lebanese woman is the affair of all relatives, even if she didn't meet them yet, including their neighbors

every single lebanese hates all lebanese in his country, but only makes friends with fellow lebanese when outside his country

all troubles inside the country is caused by an outsider

they are always right! 

offensive language is part of any normal conversation. they don't feel comfortable with you unless they start cursing at you.

lebanese women hate other lebanese women who they think are more beautiful than them

they dont consider themselves asian, euroepean, nor arabs. they are LEBANESE!

they are not racists, they just dislike to mingle with other nationalities

RINGGG!!! "kis-im-mak telefon! [pause] alu? kifak habibi? min mayk?" [roll eyes]

they only buy the expensive shirts, or gadgets, or sunglasses

they are the only ones who can drive fast while watching a movie, browsing the internet, or reading a magazine 

they are the ones sitting in the most expensive restaurants, and the ones buying the least expensive canned goods in the supermarkets

the focus of their hilarious jokes are syrians or egyptians

the lebanese pride, well, it's the strongest in the world :)

oh, by the way, did you know that both shakespeare and shakira are lebanese?
