dude....
it was nice meeting you...sorry I had to be the one to call you out on your arabic.
so I checked it out and it's completely meaningless.
It was interesting that everyone I showed the picture to--even students at my school who've only been studying a couple of months can tell it's not real Arabic. That's why I was so confused to begin with--it just didn't follow any of the patterns, and Arabic is all about certain patterns.
I'm very curious as to exactly how you came up with it. you said something about typing out "pseudo"--is that right? Even based on a normal Arabic keyboard layout you wouldn't come up with those combination of letters--in fact its impossible to come up with any word at all with the corresponding english keys so I was wondering exactly what keyboard layout you used.
I even tried to check out if there was anything to alter to make it mean something but the last letter makes it impossible.
Plus its a really ugly word to say: a simple rough pronounciation would probably be: metadethakhaha (although not exactly cus some of those sounds aren't in English)
anyways, live and learn I guess. If people ask you you should say it means "think before you act" or something like that.
oh yeah, I had totally forgotten that I knew a word for pseudo: shebah
