Arb

"What would a head be like without a body?"


"Oh, you mean arb."


Thats not what I meant actually, I'd never heard of arb before. But the way the Khmer girls were talking about it they seemed to assume I would know. Another expat in my Bible study group also recently learnt about this from her language helper. I think her language helper is also a Christian, and also talked about this arb as if everyone knows about it.
