Three·some (thr s m)
1. A group of three persons or things.
2. An activity involving three people, especially a golf match in which one player competes against two others who alternate their play.
Yes, people, these are meanings you'll find in the American Heritage Dictionary if you look up threesome.
Back at work, 1 dude (Nayef) got married and a fellow dudet (Mona) got engaged so, being nice and all, we brought them cakes and gifts and celebrated.
Okay, so far so good, no issues…everybody is congratulating Nayef and Mona and wishing them joy and happiness. Cake was eaten, gifts were given out and then everybody left the room. It was only me left, along with Nayef, Mona.
Mona to Nayef: "Where will you have your honeymoon?"
Nayef: "In Canada, we’ll stay there for 3 weeks"
Me: "Lucky you man, no work no shit for 3 weeks. Mind if I join? :-)"
Nayef: Smiling
Me with an innocent look: "3adi, threesome"
So basically, I humbly offered a Saudi Najdi guy that I, along with him and his newly wedded wife, will have wild, wet and passionate threesomes during their honeymoon…...period
Without even waiting for Mona’s and my new threesome mate Nayef’s response, the next thing was me walking out of the room and heading back to my office.
Five minutes later, Nayef stops by with a face full of..hmm..let’s say awkwardness and unease.
"Five minutes ago Abdulla, you said something totally inappropriate” Says Nayef
Me: "I did?? How..when?"
Nayef: "You dumb fuck; looks like you really don’t know what a threesome is!" And then he starts explaining to me what threesome commonly means.
Few seconds of utter silence passed by…
Me (GULP): HEHEHE so that’s what people mean by threesome..HEHEHE..
(Nayef starring at me with a straight look)
Me: (Blush)…"I’m HEHE..really sorry..that’s not what I meant..I just meant threesome as in..you know..3 people hanging out and having fun"
(Nayef starring at me with a straight look)
Me: HEHEHE
(Nayef ‘s still starring at me with a straight look)
Me: hehe
Nayef: "Well, it’s OK. Let’s just hope Mona didn’t hear you saying that"
Me: "Oh yeah..SHIT!"
I run to my phone and I call Mona.
“Mona, 10 minutes ago I said something inappropriate by mistake, so I apologize”
Mona: “LOOOOOOOOL”
Me: “um hehe”
Mona: “I know, a7ad yigool hal kalam!! al nas tgool mabrouk o int tgool threesome! LOL” (Who on earth would say what you told him!! People are supposed to congratulate the groom while you’re suggesting a threesome!”
Me: "hehe..sorry again, it was a mistake.."
Yes people, I’m 26 and I only knew what threesome commonly means recently. Key learnings are:
- Not all Najdi guys will decapitate you if you express your desire to have threesomes with them and their hot Najdi wives.
- Dictionaries are no longer where you look up for words meanings
- I’m so innocent

Hey..finally you post in English :) That was really funny and something I can relate to. I don't know how many times I didn't realize or know the meaning of what I was saying. I still do that...just not as often. I still have to giggle when one of my Arab friends say something like they're going to eat me. Then I have to explain what that means in the USA. Sometimes I wonder if they really know.... sis from the usa

OG,

And I was hoping that..well..maybe I'm not the only one who is ignorant about its meaning but even when I told my aunt (in her 40s) about my incident she went like WHAT! gosh..even old ladies knew what it means while I was living in my own Utopia for 26 years! lol
