A description not limited to but primarily including behavioral mannerisms, idiomatic expressions, identity constructs and cultural affinities of Armenian individuals from anywhere in the Middle East, the Caucasus, Europe, Africa, North America and beyond.
Something "Haleb" tends to be unassociated with mainstream American societal norms, modern understanding of community, government and interpersonal relationships and the proper functioning of technology.
"Disco" component: due to the inability of the "Haleb" to musically modernize while simultaneously refusing to acknowledge and incorporate centuries of tradition and achievement by Ottoman Armenians as composers, elite instrumentalists and acclaimed vocalists, "Haleb" also contains a "disco" component that flourishes in communities throughout North America. In the "disco" component of the "Haleb", traditional music of pre-genocide Armenians is rejected as dangerously primitive at best and a reminder of genocidal victimhood at worst. Although never outright addressed, this underlying concept lies at the root of the "Haleb", leading to the "disco" component memorialized in synthesizer music and wildly dancing entertainers in high heels.
Pronounced: Haleb (Ha as in "rock" and leb as in "red")
Variants: "Heleb" (He as "red" and leb as in "red")
There is a "Haleb world", "Haleb people" and it is also acceptable to just say "Haleb".

Get the Haleia mug.A person resembling the typical brown chess player sharing characteristics with a donkey such as extreme stubbornness. A Josh Hales usually will own very sexual clothing such as a man thong and have high levels of leg hair. A Josh Hales is usually part of a secret government agency and fights crime on a regular basis. The key thing to remember about A Josh Hales is that he is not attracted to males or females, his sexual preferences are towards salmon.
Guy 1: That guy totally looks like a pro chess player, i will make sure to stay clear of him in chess club.
Guy 2: I also saw his man thong through his jeans, he must be a Josh Hales
Guy 3: I was thinking that when i saw him getting sexy with a salmon

Get the josh hales mug.People named ‘Haley’ (or any alternative such as Hailey, Halley, Hayley, Hayleigh, etc.) are fated to die by 30 years old. Just think about it, have you ever met a middle-aged person named Haley? Another consideration: what happened to Haley Hotchner in Criminal Minds?
random person: Actually it’s because the name ‘Haley’ only became an accepted name in the past 20 years or so
you, an intellectual: how about Halley’s Comet then?
random person: You’re right, it must be the Haley curse
