A harmless expression can lead to a scandal.

Cats have long been an important part in the lives of people around the world. Lovers of pets never leave them in trouble, to which they respond with love and affection. However, attempts to get acquainted with a tailed friend in some countries can turn into a disaster.

So, the habitual for Russian-speaking “kiss-kiss” is considered a great insult in Arab countries. The fact is that in local languages, the female genital organs are called “ks”. And depending on the dialects, the word can also sound like “kiss”.

Therefore, residents of, for example, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Algeria and other countries may misunderstand the harmless appeal to a cat. For them, this will sound like an insult and obscenity, which is considered a serious deviation from the faith.

Therefore, in those regions, it is customary to call a cat, saying “psh-psh-psh”. And this option will be clear to absolutely all local residents.
