Arabic term or phrase: بحري وقبلي
A conversation between two Egyptians:

A:
How is everyone over there?

B:
كويسين يا حبيبتي بيسلموا عليكي

A:
بحري وقبلي وقبلي وبحري

B:
ما عنديش أخبار عنهم خالص

At first I thought بحري وقبلي were people's names but then I thought this might have a different meaning.
