nukta

Japanese: nukta
nukta

For example, as soon as a meeting ends, everything that was discussed there disappears into thin air. Nukta is often mentioned as a social phenomenon in Egypt. In a society where social justice is not guaranteed and oppression is extremely severe, it is a kind of pun that satirizes political power and is used by the people to vent their frustrations. However, the fact that the author of nukta is anonymous and that it never puts oneself in danger is very Egyptian.
