Arabic term or phrase: ya 7elet-ha
This was said during a text chat between two Egyptian friends. They are sort of fighting but not seriously.

Thank you in advance to anyone who may be able to help.

When I read Answer 1, I thought the answerer had never been in Egypt. But he turned to be a little bit dusty.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you for your help with this. It can be difficult to translate text speak and I just wanted to mention that the 8 stands for gh. This means that the word b8lty means my mistake or error.

neutral  Khalid Idris: Can you clarify what you mean Mr. Alaa by "dusty"!? _ What makes you think that!? Do you live in Egypt Mr, Alaa? I transferred the soul of the word, not necessarily its literal translation, as this word is for mocking other people!
