Usage notes
The word is typically used by Egyptian urbanites to refer to migrants who have come from the countryside to the cities (such as and ), particularly those who are seen as exhibiting or normalizing socially disapproved-of behavior. However, it has also come to be used jocularly to signify "ignorance" in general, especially that which is envisioned as stereotypically rustic.
