scarecrow Explanation: http://thawra.alwehda.gov.sy/_kuttab2_a.asp?cat=kuttab&num=1... نحن في بلادنا التي نملكها أباً عن جد لسنا سوى (نواطير ذرة) أي أقل النواطير شأناً لأن نطارة الذرة لا تتطلب من الناطور أن يسهر ويبذل الجهود مادام لص الذرة عندما يقطف أحد العرانيس يخرج صوتاً يدل عليه. |

peer agreement (net): +2lackeys Explanation: The singular form is "lackey." It is commonly used to refer to someone who fills a position of no authority, like a footman who is well-dressed in a sharp uniform but serves only to magnify the power of the real power holder. |
