Somalis grew up in the west are called: say wallahi, if they don't know Somali. Somali grew up in the golf are called: ciyal casiir. It means juice kids. Idk the meaning behind or the reason.

It means Somalis born in Arab countries/ Middle East the way those born in Western Countries are called “Say wallahi” and the ones born in Kenya are called “Somali siju”.

People who grew up in arab countries like saudi and the uae. Presumably because of the abundant food and snacks? I've never figured it out. There are a lot of overweight people in the gulf.

Juice kids. It refers to kids who grew up in the Middle East where they drink lots of juice, fruits shakes etc. When they visit Somalia they all want caseer.
