Are You Light Skin? I have secret for you

Post by waryaa »

In Mogadishu, light skin people (both genders are almost worshiped)

I was having a dinner with tfg officials when a light-skin kid in his early teens passed by. One of the guys at the table said this boy is hebel's son. Then another one said hebel is short and dark but this boy looks like prophet hebel (i dnt recall the but the most handsome prophet). Look how he glows. The man who said this was a general in Siad bare gov. Others nodded. The glowing boy was not even as light as reer xamar cacad.

The other day, a total stranger approached a group of people and said "naa yaan lagu cunin ee wajiga qarso" to a light skin girl in the group.

In somalia, the lighter the more beautiful/handsome. They call skinny girls sadexley which means three letters: HIV.

Loool @ Sedexleey... In the west caramel or dark skinned people are considered good looking. Light skinned people love dark, white people love anyone with dark skin. Nowadays it's black that's in. Tell people back home that light doesn't automatically equate to beautiful. I'm super black, I wonder what they'd call me! :lol:

Somalis are blunt bastards. They'll call a fat person Faadumo buuro or Ahmed gacamey & Mo lugeey cuz they're missing 1 hand/hand. I've heard of hebel ilko/ilig... In MN I was told there's a place where u get xalwo and they call the guy selling it quruxloow because he's ugly. Somalis are known for their harshness, you can't get too mad.

:lol: reer moqdisho are weird.

In Djibouti they have (or at least used to) this story about a man who's wife would not give birth to any boy.
He made a dua to allah in which he asked "ya allah if you dont give me a black son can you at least give me a light skinned one"
Also their famous saying "nin cas waa nacas" /some say the word nacas came from nin cas

reer Djibouti waa rageedii :dj: :up:

^ I'm familiar with the saying nin cas wa nacas. Apparently light skin mandem get more attention from women and thus don't really try to achieve much in life, seeing as how they're getting the goods regardless. Whereas mandem that are dark need to rely on their wits to bag chicks.

I'm still dying @ "yaan lagu cunin" :lol: Dadka indha adaga.

Segsi bisad: :lol: I knew a guy that was known as "Axmed faruuran". Somalida wax ka galey ma jirto.
