My French Muslim colleague speaks a bit of Arabic. He has confirmed the pronunciation given above. He said that the first word means rich, but he didn't know about the second word.

Yeah, the first word is pronounced Ghanee as mentioned above, and it means rich as in financially solvent.

Could it possibly mean 'ard as in "acutely sexually excited"?

Hence "Financially Secure and Acutely Sexually Excited". These things are rad, where do I sign up?













:p

heh cool. what's it on? how many words? i'll do some for you. it'd be total rubbish, but i guess i'd get a laugh out of it.
 
Gahnee (Rich - as in financially) afthd.

My mum didn't know the second word, but she says it is insulting, and definately NOT Richard in Arabic. :p
 
I've copied the photo to my memory stick and if no-one gets a full translation before I go back to Egypt (could be several weeks), I will ask one of my Egyptian colleagues to translate.

I can't work out what the second word means and I have asked my jordanian friend - he hasn't heard of that word. It's probably a dialect or slang for a region. Needless to say I doubt it's complimentary.
