Morocco # English board

Hi everybody,

Does anyone know what Arab media used to call john mccain when referring to his english description as a maverick?

c'mon anyone who followed the Arabic news media during last US presidential election might have heard the word repeatedly. I can not find the exact political reference in arabic

Sorry Sebbou3 I do not know it either. But if it could be any consolation, can I suggest a white haired lying baboon. I always thought of politicians as such. Sorry!
But honestly, give us a better challenge and more interesting question. ta ta

Here is what I found online

Babylon English-Arabic:
ÈÞÑÉ áã ÊæÓã, ÇáÎÇÑÌ ÔÎÕ íÎÑÌ Úä ãÌãæÚÊå, ãÓÊÞá

English arabic dictionary:
ÃáÇÓãÌóÇÍöÏ ; ÌóÍõæÏ ; ÎÇÑöÌ

English 2 Arabic Glossary
ÈÞÑÉ Çæ äÚÌÉ ÇáÎ ÇáÎÇÑÌ

Don't ask if I know what this means. I just copied-pasted.
I Hope this helps

Assalmo 3laykom!

according to dictionary Maverick was originally reserved to describe a calf or a cow that is not branded by a rancher as it was common practice in the old west. and therefore that calf would be considered not officially belonging to any rancher. and the first rancher who finds it and brands it become his lawful owner. But the word was later used to describe individuals with uniques views and methodologies that are not mainstream and politicians who run as not belonging to any political party.

In that light, "Maverick" in arabic would be "Mosta9il" either politically or ideologically.

Wa allaho a3lam!...

Amazigh01, you got it wrong. My question is not intended to challenge your intellectual capacities. I really needed the translation of the word Maverick for personal reasons. My question is very interesting to me and to those who know the answer.
Thank you for wasting your time in this topic.

Thank you for your help. I also looked up the translation of this word online and found the same answers. I was just thinking that the Arab news media might have invented an arabic equivalent of the word.

Hi Sebou3!
Sorry about that! I was reading about some of the commentaries that people seem to put on the net and got carried away with the answers. I did not realize that it was aserious question and adding to that I disliked the fellow as much as I disliked little Bush and hence the silly answer. I respect that you must have had some serious work and eager for the answer. Apology once again!

Apologies accepted.

looks like none of the yabilidis follow the Arabic news media.

I strongly like you to know that the apology has been made for the sake of Allah and not because of anything else. This is the Islamic manners and teaching that I have been brought with.
If you notice, as you plastered my apology all over the web, the comments have explicit and in good manners. Adios!

Are you OK!!
la haoula wa la kouwata illa billah. wa lillah fi khalqihi shoueoun.

calm down, you just succeeded in making me regret coming to such a forum.

You guys sound as if you are talking to yourselves and going in circles, don’t take it to heart. We all learnt something today thanks to Vagabondo.
