Originally it was a derogatory term used by Basra's people to refer to the gypsies and the swamps people, but it has become well-know in all of Iraq and Kurdistan after the 70's.

is a slur in the Iraqi dialect of Arabic which means scum people with uncivilized or malicious behaviour, and most of them are involved in terrorist militias, drug trafficking and illegal activities such as oil smuggling, they are known as thieves, Arabs are not allowed to mate with them because of their inferior genes or something like that.

shroogs cannot create a civilized place. They pollute every spot they set foot in like a virus.

They are also hated by Iraqis because of their bad behavior and their ugly appearance.

It's part of their culture to not be functioning members of society, hence they cannot be assimilated, Lower caste shroogs live off welfare for their 15 children, stealing or begging.

Higher cast shroogs engage in organized crime, and they are mostly pimps or prostitution.

It is not uncommon for shroogs to split into clans and kill each other in broad daylight, much to the dismay of police officers who cannot contain their autistic shitflinging.

Shroogs have no sense of fashion nor taste in music and no eye for beauty. They indulge in kitsch of the highest order for example, Zuhair Al-Atwani's videos which became internationally known memes.

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
