There are animals, insects, fish etc. There are gases, liquids, metals etc. There is man and woman. There is good and bad. There is happy and sad. The answer is non of the above or even closely related to the above. need help with this one and ASAP....

The rudest

66315845_80585748e3

Please enjoy this defamatory verse from 18th-century Damascus, with dick jokes worthy of Jerk City:

You of wide and generous posterior—and how many marks we have left upon it!

You who, if a penis appears in the Hijaz and the land of Rāmah,

Cries and wails, saying, "I am tired of my residence [in Damascus]."

Or if he smells a penis in al-Yamāmah says: "By God, to al-Yamāmah!"

He prefers to everlasting bliss with wine [in Paradise],

A penis as the neck of a camel and as long as the legs of an ostrich.

If the pricks that he has used to quench his cravings were put end to end,

And he mounted them, he would reach the sky, and truly exceed the stars in stature.

'Abd al-Ḥayy al-Khal (d. 1715). Translation by Khaled El-Rouayheb in his splendid Before Homosexuality in the Arab-Islamic World, 1500-1800 (University of Chicago, 2005), pictured above with coffee on a sunny afternoon at the Diesel.
