So I want to apologize for laughing at Shakira’s cry, as I heard on NPR that this is a common victory call in many Arab countries. I did not know, but now I do, and I will do better next time.

Correction - non-white bodies are fine once they've been co-opted for whiteness via the Kardashians.

I read that it is used when the joy is too great for words. That makes it sound so much more beautiful for some reason.
