Gaze not Gaze

I came across an interesting article from Alqabas, an Kuwaiti newspaper about 'Gazing' in Kuwait. The word 'Gaze' in proper English means A fixed look; a look of eagerness, wonder, or admiration; a continued look of attention (from wiktionary.org), but in Kuwait when you say "I want to gaze", or  "let's gaze" it means lets hanging out without any purpose or goal (chill out/ flirting).

The word 'Gaze' been used  as a slang only in Kuwait community by the X generations after the Invasion of Kuwait.

For Arabic readers click here to read the article dated to 28 Aug 2008 for more details.
