Thanks a punch brother Ahmad and Jazak ALLAH khair.
I would like to emphasize #8 because it might sound strange for some
people, so the correct form is: I'm leaving for Riyadh NOT to Riyadh
Thanks agin and Salam

Likewise brother Galam and thanks for your comment.

I wanna ask you about the meaning of the phrase ' thanks a punch ' because I looked it up in formal and slang dictionaries and found nothing in this respect.

Ahmed :/

Good to see much of you here.

Comming back , filling this place with wonderful posts.

You were so HUGE..


----------------

for " thanks a punch"

I guess it's something like thanks a lot or something.
Maybe its Qalam's new hit FOR 2004 :)


HAPPY 2004 for U all..

3(b) dull(a)h...

[3bdullah]

It's pretty clear that is so problematic ( leave for)

It looks like you're right Abdullah, "thanks a punch" is my new hit for 2004 because it is wrong. It should have been "thanks a bunch" which means a lot. I mixed fruit punch with a bunch of carrots :) . It is my fault brother Ahmad I apologize and thanks for bringing this up

[أحمد العبدالله]

Thank you brother 3bdAllah for your comment.

Bro! I've never been huge but I hope for this forum to be huge and for me to be an active member of it.

For 'thanks a punch', I guessed the same but wanted to make sure of it.
---------------------------------------

[l]Thanks bro Galam for correction and no need to apologise because to err is human .
'Thanks a bunch ' is a slang expression meaning 'thank you ' or ' thanks

Thanks

Ahmad
