Culusow- HSM..
AbdiProzac=Abdiwali Gas, coz he is a bit special
Afweyne= He had a big mouth on him, also a very greedy I bet

Garguurte=HSM, because he at times is accused of being very slow and indecisive, hense the word, Gurguurte meaning the crawler
Murursade=This is an actual name for a sub clan of Hawiye
Jawaari- His actual surname I think

I dont know the origins and background of some of the terms, am not that well versed in fadhi kudirir sessions so, some of the other members will have a more colourful explanations I bet :lol:

This is an intended pun I reckon. It's referring to Ali Khalif Galayr, who was chased from his HQs and Cabdi Bile was the fastest man in Somalia at one point and was also a DHB, hence , Ali Bile Kalaydhi :lol:

AbdiProzac -

Refers to dubious character named abdiweli mohamed ali gaass, the current incumbent leader of break-away state of Puntland, he is referred to as AbdiProzac because he is on a triple cocktail of high strength antidepressant, anti-psychotic and Anti Anxiety medications to help him cope with the somewhat impossible task of running Puntland.

Thank you Agent477. I figured from context Cali Bile must have been a famous runner.

I think Ilkayar are Marexans, but of course the origin is what I was looking for.

Kacaan seems to be Siyaad Barre's regime, but is there more to the story than that. I mean Kac=Get up, so Im curious.

There are Muslims in Ethiopia/Eritrea who claim descent from Abdirahman ibn Ismail Al-Jabarti, and call themselves Jeberti.

Should we embrace them as our Darood kinsmen?

:steviej: :smugruss:

But my question, is Jeberti a derrogatory term here on this forum. Ive only seen it used my those who wish to speak ill about the noble sons of Aqiil ibn Abu Talib :troll:

Idoor is in the same boat. Its a name of their ancestor, but only their haters use it. So does that mean its derragatory?

Im guessing nothing is as bad as the F-word (F***sh)

No Jeberti are not all Muslim. The Jeberti live both in Eritrea and Ethiopia. They are Tigrais who converted to Islam. Some practice Orthodox in Ethiopia while others were later converted to Catholic by the Italians in Eritrea.

Jeberti were traders who moved around Eritrean and Ethiopian cities.

In this forum Jeberti is Darod.

ilkayar (small teeth) is Marehan

Idoor (trader) is Isaac

Hutu is Hawiye, because they killed many civilians and looted cities like Rwanda.

Cagdheer (big foot) is Ogaden

Kacaan - to rise/uprise, was the socialist Government of Siad Barre. The official name for the revolutionary party was; Goolaha Sare ee Kacaanka (The Supreme Revolutionary Council). The term towrada was used too for the revolutionary. The Kacaan was uprising to what they regarded dependent system, lack of Somali literature, lack of food basket, tribal issues, occupied lands, insufficient government.

Example of song praising the revolutionary social of Siad Barre; Towradatan baraakaysan (this blessed revolution), talabadi aan qadne (to take the step forward/move forward)
