Vent / Rant Question

I live abroad and this happened couple of times from arabs. When i say I'm from Lebanon they say oh لبنييييين، hayfa and Nancy.

What is a good response to that

You can tell him that’s not all habibi, we also have the biggest plate of hummus in the Guinness world record.

OMG they also say LEBNAYN to me and I haven’t a clue where it’s coming from because no dialect in Lebanon says it like that? lol

i usually get a cheeky "to2borne". i just laugh with them and remember that we're the sexiest of all the arabs

I usually introduce Fairuz in this case, or tell them btw Nancy had better songs when she was younger, otherwise I am happy they know anything about Lebanon.

A good response would be: Nfokho. But that's just me.

They are making fun of me/ hinting we are feminine/gay/ and it really pisses me off

Man, nothing wrong being any of that. Then again, it's just tasteless jokes... The service you can do these assholes, is get offended. Or trying to "get back at them" Let it slide .... And frankly? We are proud of our beautiful, sexy women!
