Gerbooz/za : berber / shl7 , but it’s used as an insult, as far as i know, grbooz is either an ignorant person, or someone who likes to just collect money without spending it \<— & they’re both unfortunately used to refer to shloo7 !

Mastoora : it sounds fos7a ! & it means covered, hidden, secretly
