CELLPHONE ENGLISH in Oman: Caw Meat

Now, this one should have been easy for me, with all my experience with Omani texting;p :D. But for some reason I was stuck.

I recieved the following text:


DO U WAN SOME CAW MEAT?


I picture a poor Macaw parrot. I had to text back to clarify. "Bakara?" Which is Arabic for cow.


Yep. Cow meat. I was much relieved.
