لداب نمآلا تاوق نآ ةيرصم

Boy do I wish I paid more attention back when I was taking Arabic in college. Not only could I impress by telling you what that means but I'd be able to get a really cool war profiteering job in Iraq.

Phonetically it looks like "ladabat namimala tawaq na hararsadmim." But I'm 90% sure I'm screwing that up, it was just fun trying to remember that stuff. Putting the individual words into online Arabic dictionaries doesn't find anything though. So it may just be nonsense. Or dialectical. Or I've screwed it up 100%.
