Shaabi, as it's usually transliterated, or more accurately, sha'bi, is an Egyptian music genre developed in the first half of Twentieth century that thrived in 1960s-80s.
Though shaabi music is exclusively urban music of Cairo, it originates in Egyptian folk rural music, esp. of Delta's fellaheen (peasants).
Etymology: Arabic sha'bi (popular, folk, of common people) ultimately from sha'b (people).

-At the end of each round, the lowest scoring player takes off an article of clothing
-Any player who spells a dirty word may choose someone else to take off an article of clothing, and is exempt from taking off anything him/herself, should the word have the lowest score in that round
-At the end of the game, there is a possibility that there are two winners. Let's say one person is a really good Scrabble player and another just spells dirty words the entire game but doesn't really rack up the points. In the case that there is High Score winner and a Most Clothed winner, the two winners must make out.
