Potty Language

I find Arabic vocabulary hard, since with few cognates in English, it means a lot of memorization. I’ve tried everything—flash cards, copying lists, chanting aloud. My latest attempt has been to plaster the apartment with post-its. My roommate has asked me to remove the ones in the bathroom though; the letters could spell Allah, and the bathroom is an un-pure place.

Woah! That is crazy intense. Is she really that religious? What if the letters on the toliet paper package spell Allah? What if the soap spells it out? The shampoo? The toothpaste? What if you accidentally wrote it in lipstick on the mirror?
