"Ana raicha Al Qaeda" is colloquial for "I'm going to the toilet". A very common and widespread use of the word "Al-Qaeda" in different Arab countries in the public language is for the toilet bowl. This name comes from the Arabic verb "Qa'ada" which mean "to sit", pertinently, on the "Toilet Bowl". In most Arabs homes there are two kinds of toilets: "Al-Qaeda" also called the "Hamam Franji" or foreign toilet, and "Hamam Arabi" or "Arab toilet" which is a hole in the ground. Lest we forget it, the potty used by small children is called "Ma Qa'adia" or "Little Qaeda".

Re: Hyper and those who live in Arabia
lol it`s funny how people connect some different stuff on one word.
first to your question is no.
the toilet in arabic as you know is al 7amam=hamaam. as you said we have two different kinds.
hamaam arabi which is: kan dulka ko yaala, little hole, it`s painful though and tiring.lol
and the Qaìd= kuri=sitting one, it`s very common to call it al frenji.
so the common words: hamamal arabi and hamaamal frenji.
i would like to add the alqaida as it is and pronounced means= the rule
by the way we call arabic grammer al-qawaìd too. so basically it`s rules , set of rules.

Re: Hyper and those who live in Arabia
I thought Al-Qaida meant "the base" as in the most basic, like how on the news they were talking about little pakistani children learning Al-Qaida in madrassa's which was really meant they were learning the "basic grammar" in reading arabic.
