khuush 7arakah






















Whenever you see clips of Michael Jackson, Madonna or Justin Timberlake putting on a show, it's even hard for doubters to resist saying "khuush Harakah!"

When the situation is a majmuu:ah of people dance at a wedding, it's not quite the same. But hey, even if yitHarakuun pretty badly, no one cares, and plus it'd be pretty qillat 'aadab to bring down the mood with tuts and criticism.

That said, shwayat Harakaat are so ridiculous that even people who are m'aadabiin cannot help but crease up. And one that immediately comes to mind is well, just about the whole of the 1990s.

And in the spirit of how we did things "back then," forget al-'aadab, turn off the phone and guumaw tHarikaw!
