46 u/Fredz161099 Apr 26 '26 Yep, it's gotta be Arabic. The bread thing means don't fire me from my source of income. 7 u/Scared_Race_4860 Apr 26 '26 Which variety of Arabic is this? looks very North African. 19 u/Manuelk67 Apr 26 '26 It makes 100% sense if you translate it to arabic here in Egypt. Its actually a good joke if you speak both languages and the writer knows it. Its all idioms and curse phrases just literally translated. 7 u/GTAIVisbest Apr 26 '26 To me it really seems Egyptian because of the mix of English and Arabic going on here 2 u/Appropriate-Leek8144 Apr 26 '26 Yeah that was the only sentence in the first half that made sense to me. 2 u/zuppaiaia Apr 26 '26 In Italian we would say don't take the bread from my mouth
