Iraq Cities
Seeing how we are bound to hear a lot about Iraq for a while, I thought it would be important to look at the map of Iraq and study it’s geography. Although the city names in Iraq are quite different than what most of us are accustomed to, I’m sure there are meanings behind them. Here is a short list of possible definitions.
* Baghdad: The largest of three bags available for the grocer to pack groceries. Other sizes include the baghmom and baghbaby.
* An Nasiriyah: A type of flu with symptoms of nausea and diarrhea.
* Samarra: The day following Saday.
* Sinjar: A kind of donation plate, but used with a mayonaise jar. Often passed around in church for those with sin to make financial offerings.
* Mandali: A term given for inflatable dolls.
* Umm Qasr: An initial response often expressed when someone smells fresh baked qasr.
* Tikrit: A collar worn by dogs and cats to rid them of ticks.
* Ar Ramadi: A brief expression of unity for community ramadi. The phrase comes from the quote, Not my ramadi, not your ramadi, but our ramadi.
* Bayji: Former stunt-double for the loveable scruffy dog, Benji.
* Al Hillah: One heck of a big hill. Smaller than a mountain, bigger than a molehill.
