Sheikh Hotel?

I see it in many threads and websites nowadays. I could swear it was my own invention but I’ve only come to this place a couple of weeks ago!

I remember the day clearly. It was in January earlier this year. I went to meet a friend at a Somali Cafe and noticed them watching the election of the new Somali president live on TV. I shrugged and told the regulars that Sheikh Hotel was going to win. One of the modern wadads who was sitting at the front and seemed to be immersed in the whole proceeding, took his eye away from the TV and swore at me (it was a Sh. Hotel sort of Cafe after all).

I am here to claim ownership of this phrase and will assume it is mine. Unless someone can come with better proof!

WHO COINED THE TERM IRON CURTAIN??

I think Emperior

it was actually Sheikh Dalxiis

I "Coined" ....the phrases "Farah & "Xalimo" here in somalinet back 98 to replace average Jane and Doe!

who coined the phrase Basra calooley??

TFG under A.Yusuf and Gheedi used to be called Dowlada dulimaadka iyo Dalxiiska.

In 1998 Basra? Damn! You must be the same age of my favourite underwear.

I think it might be one of the BBC dudes.
