بروطة lazy / unemotional Explanation: The colloquial Egyptian word is بروطة It basically means lazy or tend to stay or sleep a lot and not to be active. It could be an insult for fat people. Kindly, see these contexts ما معنى بروطة http://ejabat.google.com/ejabat/thread?tid=086fd6c69e62ee48 وماما هنا ببقى بروطة تخرج الحال بيبقى غير الحال http://forums.fatakat.com/thread2914111 أيوااااااااااا أنا بروطـــــــــــة حد ليه شوق في حاجة http://forums.fatakat.com/thread2700343 In your context, I think it has to do with laziness in showing emotions or intrest. I think the word unemotional (in the sense of not showing strong feelings) fits well this context. HTH |
