    My father used shufti all the time and he was indeed in Egypt during the war
    shufti

    A word of Arabic origin meaning "look!" Was brought back to Britain after the Second World War by returning soldiers who had learnt the word from Arab peddlars of dirty postcards. The peddlars used to keep the postcards hidden inside their coats and would show them to soldiers saying "Shufti, shufti!" - "Look, look!"

    Yes Bridget that’s how I come to use it as my father spent his war years in the Middle East.
    Well, what a good job I didn’t recommend that people should have a gander. It being too close to Christmas!

    I am proud to own a copy of the full and unabridged (as they say) Scottish National Dictionary as my father subbed to it as it was being compiled and received in in quarto. Which in essence is uncut four pages to a sheet. However being a printer he had it run up as books and properly bound so that on opening they stay open where you want them to. A master piece of binding and a joy to own: and more volumes than you might think...
