A-rab
noun
an Arab US
Not flattering, but more oafish than derogatory. The slang sense of the word is gained strictly through pronunciation–a long first “A”, two drawn out syllables, and a light twang with the second. In his 1962 rock/novelty record “Ahab the Arab”, Ray Stevens gave a loud public voice to this pronunciation.- You know yourself that a sumbitch who don’t block or tackle is nothing but a nigger hebe spick with a little A-rab thrown in. By the way. We got any A-rabs around here? — Dan Jenkins, Semi-Tough, pp. 5–6, 1972
- One look at your guinea puss and this fuckin’ A-rab of yours and he’ll bolt like a rabbit. — Edwin Torres, Carlito’s Way, p. 77, 1975
- Except I can’t show you no Arabs on account of I do not know too many A-rabs. — George V. Higgins, The Rat on Fire, p. 27, 1981
- A boogie barkeep said she’s got some ace A-rab tips. — James Ellroy, Destination Morgue, p. 349, 2004
