Dafuq is a weshwesh supposed to be

Weshesh, one of the groups Ramesses III said he defeated when the Sea Peoples attacked Egypt. As far as I know, though, they're one of the groups that we have basically no other mentions or evidence of, so we have no idea who they were

There's one meaning I know of "weshwesh" and it's definitively pretty racist

source: am French and also Arab

[-] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 5 months ago

Est-ce que ça s’écrit pareil en français ?

[-] Resol@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Je pense, PENSE, que c'est "ouechouech" mais je suis pas sûr.

On peut prononcer "weshwesh" de la même façon, donc pourquoi pas l'écrire comme ça?

[-] ailepet 1 points 5 months ago

Idéalement on ne devrait pas l'écrire du tout, enfin pas pour désigner des Arabes (ça reste une salutation familière, comme dans le titre du film : https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/104234-wesh-wesh-qu-est-ce-qui-se-passe)

[-] Resol@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

"Weshwesh" c'est pour les arabes? Je savais pas.

[-] ailepet 1 points 5 months ago

Ouais, avec une connotation "kaillera". J'étais pas très content quand on me l'a sorti (au taf en plus)

[-] Resol@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Maintenant j'ai compris

Same (except the Arab part), this post was highly confusing at first 😅
