Hadeed

Rosaltn from Toronto:

"What it means to us:
The word Ha-deed (sounds like it looks) is something me and my friends always say when we are:

1- excited about something
2- happy with the plans we've made
3- when something is "cool" or we say HADEED!

Background/Origin:
The word is of Arabic decent and the direct translation means "steel".

A "hadeed" story:
My friend and I decided to go to Niagara Falls on a Thursday night. We went to the bar
and met pretty much everyone in the bar (it wasn't very busy). Everyone at the club ended up
outside at one point. I got up and said that on three we were going to change it from cheers to HADEED!
Everyone on the patio went nuts!!! I had everyone in there, including the DJ, saying Hadeed by the end of the night.
We should bring it back (by popular demand)!!
