What does “menshen” (منشن) mean in Arabic?

منشن is English “mention” living a full Arabic life: on social media it means to tag someone, and Arabic conjugates it like any verb — منشنّي (“tag me”), منشنته (“I tagged him”). This clip ends on the format’s classic call to action: منشن صاحب الأذن الكبيرة — “tag your big-eared friend.” If you follow any Arabic creator, you’ll meet this word within a day.

It travels with a whole imported social-media lexicon — لايك, شير, فولو, بلوك — all borrowed wholesale and re-verbed (بلكته = “I blocked him”). The clip itself is a mock listicle of the perks of big ears, delivered in the ranking formula worth keeping: أولاً... ثانياً... ثالثاً (“first... second... third”), before the منشن punchline.
