صلعمي

Arabic

Etymology

Relative adjective (nisba) composed of صَلْعَم‎ (ṣalʿam) +‎ ـِيّ‎ (-iyy). From صَلْعَم‎ (ṣalʿam, but rarely so pronounced), an acronym or alteration of صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ‎ (ṣallā l-lahu ʿalayhi wasallama, “May Allah bless him and grant him peace”), a religious eulogy that typically follows the mentioning of Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, with the acronym turning into a derogatory denomination of Muhammad himself.

Pronunciation

IPA^(key): /sˤal.ʕa.mijj/

Noun

صَلْعَمِيّ • (ṣalʿamiyy) m (plural صَلاعِمة‎ (ṣalāʿima), feminine صَلْعَمِيَّة‎ (ṣalʿamiyya))

(slang, religious slur) a mudslime, a muzzie, a Mahometist (a Muslim)
Synonym: شارِب بَوْل بَعِير‎ (šārib bawl baʿīr, “drinker of camel piss”)

Usage notes

The word is part of the slang of Arabic-speaking non-Muslims, and in particular non-theists, who have formed quite numerous and very active internet communities (particularly since the Arab Spring and ISIS). Muhammad is oftentimes called صَلْعَم‎ (ṣalʿam) by such groups to avoid the positive significations of his name, which is the passive participle of حَمَّدَ‎ (ḥammada), thus meaning (“the Blessed”, “the Praised”).
