In an earlier post, we talked about the interesting language that comes out of the Google translation of Arabic. At that time, we often came across the term "watermelon" but could not come up with a reference. Well, here's one found on February 12, 2011 in a news bit describing ministers approved by Parliament:
"The most prominent of the ministries that have been approved by the electricity that is assigned to the Iraqi List led by Iyad Allawi. The source added that the ministers who approved them, they thunder Falh Ani (electricity) and the good of God’s good Babiker (trade) and just Mhodr Maliki (Municipalities and Public Works) and the invocation Zaidi (women). The regulation also includes the ministers of state beauty watermelon (without portfolio) and Amer Khuzaie (National Reconciliation) and exotic Kazem (for civil society)."
Oh, yeah! But... just who thunders Fahl Ani anyway? And who came up with the title of God's good Babiker for the Minister of Trade? I pray to God the Minister of Parliament given Exotic Kazem is a woman. And, here we're getting to the crux of the matter... just what kind of portfolio do you think might have been under the control of the Ministers of State Beauty Watermelon?
Oh, now I see.
