arabic made easy

The Middle East Media Research Institute drew up a short list of Arabic imprecations which the National Review Online has published. My personal fave, nazl 'depraved, despicable,' a reference to Dubya. Reminds me of Ash nazg durbatuluuk / ash nazg gimbatul / ash nazg thrakatuluuk / agh burzum-ishi krimpatul. Black Speech text as recorded by Professor J. R. R. Tolkien.
