What is a Marab?!?
Essentially, Marab is just a lazy way of saying male Arab.... but it has come to mean so much more than that. If said in a sarcastic tone of voice, it can refer to those male Arabs; the ones who walk around as if they are literally made of money (for sure, they are clothed in it), and can buy anything (including girls) they want. One can usually smell these guys from six blocks away because the cologne factor mixed with the ego factor seems to waft off of them in all directions. We're not saying we aren't into these guys, but they can be a tedious bunch to handle, and no novice white girl should attempt to deal with them. If said while rolling one's eyes, it generally means the Marab in question has just made some completely ridiculous statement about the inferiority of women, or some generally uninformed political or racist statement that can be attributed to his being Marab. If Marab is said in an excited way with a hint of interest, this is the best situation. For example, if we are in a club and a hot Arab guy walks in, we might say to our friends, "Oh, Marab to the left!" This is just a short explanation of what Marab means. After you read our stories, I'm sure you'll have a better idea of the scope of Marabness. ... Enjoy!
