Nahhhh, it's a term Father Mulcahey used in the TV series M*A*S*H, I think it means humor or kidding around. But it seemed to fit.

You DO remember the series don't you, or am I that ancient?

Maybe it's just me, but I was kinda' offended by the murderous attack on innocent civilians in The World Trade Centers on 9/11/01.
I'll try to do better with the delicate sensibilities of others.

I think it's different English spellings of the same Arabic word. The word itself is not offensive but it can be used in a derogatory way, like yankee or hippie or gringo or gaijin or popo.
