You're not owed an invitation. مالكش دعوة

Egyptian expression; used when you wanna tell someone that it's none of their business- like they're not welcome to chime in. "Soooo, how's it going with your new guy?" "I don't want to talk about it." "Why not?" "You're not owed an invitation."

The men finished in the war. الرجالة خلصت في الحرب

Egyptian expression; used to say that chivalry is dead and therefore there aren't any men- we're left with the boys. "I asked him to help me move. Last time he said he'd help me, he showed up like 2 and a half hours late and I ended up packing and prepping everything myself and he just helped me with his car." "Did you confirm the time?" "Oh yeah, again and again. Last night he said he'd see me at 11:30, it's noon now and he JUST left - with traffic it's like another 2 hours at least." "I'm so sorry - yeah, the men finished in the war, eh?"
