The Persian Gulf (In Farsi: Khaleej-é-Farrs) is the mass of water located between the Iranian peninusla and the Arab states of Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and Oman.
Since the 1960s, Arab states (or Persian Gulf Arabs )have unsuccessfully tried to change the name of the Persian Gulf into the "Arabian Gulf". This term is not used in English and is not acknowledged by organizations such as the United Nations, The National Geographic Society, and official cartographers.
The Persian Gulf is called Persian beacause of the history of Iran which dominated the region and beacause Iran has the longest coastline on the Persian Gulf.

Get the poonanie mug.To Himmlerise someones rim or ass. When your friend betrays you, or does something against your interests, or when you are generally pissed off with somebody and want to threaten their physical security you say, "Am gonna Himmlerise yo rim!". It is another way of saying am gonna kick your butt or I am going to give you a severe beating that you will find hard to forget.
Note: People not familiar with recent 20th Century history will not understand.
Background: The term Himmlerise is taken from the name of Heinrich Luitpold Himmler who was the commander of the German Schutzstaffel (SS). He controlled the SS and the Gestapo during the Nazi regime. He became one of the main architects of the Holocaust, using elements of mysticism and a fanatical belief in the racist Nazi ideology to justify the mass murder and genocide of millions of victims. Himmler was responsible for implementing the industrial scale extermination of between six and twelve million people. Among the victims were Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, Communists, Blacks, Catholics and Slavs.
When captured in 1945 he committed suicide prior to his interrogation. (from Wikipedia).
So you see not a very good person.
