hafla
A big-ass party where Arabs get together and do weird stuff like cutting a kid’s thing with a knife, then eat like it’s a holiday. No alcohol, but there’s hookah and belly dancing like it’s a war.
My uncle had a hafla and cut my cousin’s thing in front of everyone. It was glorious.
At the hafla, I ate so much food I couldn’t move.
The hafla had live music, hookah, and a dance that made my grandma cry.
