This word appears in a conversation between two Egyptians who are discussing romantic relationships between men and women in the United States.

The person speaking is saying that he is currently in a relationship with an American woman, but he doesn't want to marry her even though they've been together for five years.

This makes her sad/frustrated because she would like to get married. He says that she loves him so much that she would actually pay to be his wife. Then he says:

Hi, Amel, just wanted to tell you that it's not offensive. It means being nice to someone all the time and being extra careful not to upset them in any way.
