"Deekooor!!"

**Sorry RX I kinda stole your word!

I recently learned what "Dekoor" is all about. I finally found the right word to describe what the majority of Kuwaities are turning into. I think the plural is "Dekorat"? I'm actually not sure. Anyway, I just wanted to get this off my chest; being a "Dekor" makes you not only pathetic but also a joke.
First of all, for you who aren't familiar with the term "Dekoor" I'll try to explain the best way I can. You know those people, who constantly talk about themselves and what they own and how all this make them so awesome? To clarify, "Dekoor" is the definition of an individual who tries so hard to get people's attention through a number of pathetic attempts such as talking about oneself's materialistic belongings, "Super powers", and even wealth.
How to be a "Dekoor"? The most obvious and popular method in the process of becoming a "Dekoor" is to simply make up stuff about yourself that you think will make you the object of everyone's envy. Whenever you strike a conversation make sure you mention your G5, your brand new limited and very pimped up edition lambo, and of course your vilas in every beach around the world. Extra points will be added if you say that your father owns a resturant or a country club!
If you don't wanna be too obvious then don't worry there are other ways!! If you're a girl then I say go to the nearest unauthentic bags store and load yourself with Hermés bags, and while you're at it get all the colors as well. When you're done, head out to the fakest Jewllery shop and get yourself a very fake Van Cleef and Arples earrings, necklaces, braclets, you know what just get the whole collection, so it goes perfectly with your fake Rolex, and Cartier love bracelet. You're still not yet the perfect "Dekoor", next step is the most crucial step of the process. The next step involves you sitting with your "friends", telling them all about your trips around the world and how much you love going to stores and buying very real and authentic accessories. When that's done, you can officially call yourself a "Dekoor".
If you want to learn more about becoming a "Dekoor", then I suggest you go to places where they're seen often like Salhiya, Raya, and most importanatly Exhibitions! If you want easy access to them, then I highly advise you to just declare your dedication to being a "Dekoor" and then you'll be automatically invited; they do come in big groups.
Finally and just for the record, I'm not saying everyone who drives a lambo is a "Dekoor", nor everyone who's into fashion. I personally love fashion and I'm all in favor of the whole "Dress to impress" thing; all I'm saying is that real people don't care about fake things. So, why be fake?

  1. Such people don't even deserve attention, and that's what they want actually. Good thing you got it off your chest, at the same time la t3awreen rasech 3laihum, leave them living in their own pathetic world or educate them for the better ;)

    "Dress to impress" - this is the first time I actually hear that term, but I like women/girls who know how to do it, albeit with class & taste, and not those who over do it or think they're doing it properly

  3. I think dekoor has a whole different meaning than what you said. it could be all of the above + acting like other people do and pretending that this is your own self just to "fit in" (not realizing that you are trying to fit in where you don't belong) when in fact you are a completely different person! Not just materialistically, but also mentally, spiritually and emotionally. The way you act in front of people just to impress them. The way you look down at people and the way you judge and perceive things -secretly-.

    Those people are only transparent and obvious to those who are unlucky to get to be close with them (after being fooled with their dekoor) and when their mean fugly shallow ignorant envious petulant insecure moral-less obnoxious full of crap pathetic self is finally discovered and finally out there (because no one can put on a show incessantly! It's effing tiring!) that's when we don't know if we should feel sorry for them because that's just who they really are, or blame them for having such attitude.

    I choose to feel sorry.
    Once again, Nice topic (; . ;)

  9. MANOORii: yes, it's called "Hya6" in Saudi. It's a common word in Kuwait. Another term would be "Mazhareya", as in "Latdakwir yal mazhareya".
