Yeah, you read that right: blowsex. No, I have no idea what that is either.
Every time I walk home from work after ten pm, there is this car park attendant that asks me about it. "Hey, pssst! Blowsex?"
I find this very confusing, not only because I am unfamiliar with the actual meaning of the word, but also because of his phrasing.
Does he want it from me, or is he offering it to me? Is he inquiring where he might obtain it? Or maybe he knows I teach English and is he merely asking me for a definition?
I know the easiest thing would be to just ask him what it means next time I see him, but I'm shy around strangers and I don't want to come across as stupid. It might be one of those hip Cairo things only the in-crowd expats know about. Like boat parties and alcohol hook-ups.
I'm afraid to google it, mainly because it has the word sex in it (I don't want to get lost in the tripleX-www), but if any of you can muster up the courage and find something interesting, let me know.
I might make a new friend out of it.

Are you sure you heard it right?!
ReplyDeleteYep, I hear him say it every other day. Blow-sex.
DeleteHe needs to learn English as a start.However that sounds like sexual harassment to me.
ReplyDeleteWell, sexual harrassment is rife here in Egypt... Check http://storiesfromcairo.blogspot.com/2012/03/teaching-in-egypt-1-women-are.html for links.
Deletedepends on how he looks like and his body language you can determine that
ReplyDeleteProbably he is a horney guy asking for stranger sex ,or is he asking if you want a Taxi , and you hear it Blow-Sex for some other reason :P
Yeah, he's not really my type...
Deletehahahahaha...i think the word mean that he want you to do oral sex for him..and i think that he heard it in porn movie and he don't know the correct pronunciation but don't worry Parliament will bane the porn website and he will never hear it again loooooooooooool
