Ghondorah

Ghondorah is an Arabic synonym for shoes. But in Iraqi culture giving the title of Ghondorah to someone is one of the worst insults. When Iraqis swear at POWs this word repeated time and again. It is said that to put the slippers upside down had a meaning by many degrees worse than Ghondorah and if Iraqis witnessed that someone has put his slippers upside down punished him severely.
