Arabic term or phrase: وارط
أحدهم ضحك عندما سمع كلمة "تلقيح" تخرج من فم الأستاذ، ولم يستطع أن يكتم ضحكته تلك فخرجت رغما عنه على شكل انفجار، قهقهة قوية دوت في الفصل. أوقفه الأستاذ، سأله:
- ما الذي أضحكك؟
لم يجب الطالب على السؤال. غضب الأستاذ ورفع صوته:
- ليش ضحكت؟ نريد أن نضحك معك! ...لا يجوز أن تضحك وحدك، يجب أن نضحك سويا.
لم يجب الطالب، وتوارى ذلك الضحك سريعا، والوجه الضاحك تحول بسرعة إلى وجه وارط لا يعرف كيف يخرج من ورطته. صاح الأستاذ في وجهه:
- ليش ضحكت؟
