Here is a short explanation about a phrase mentioned right after (or right before) saying anything considered عيب ^ayb shameful
or حرام Haraam forbidden (things like certain parts of the body, alcohol, narcotics, pork, using the restroom, underwear, etc.)
تكرم
tikram - be honored
(if said to several people, it's تكرمو tikramu )
So, how do you use it?
For example, somebody asks you 'Where is Abdullah?", and you want to say "He went to the restroom/toilet". In Gulf Arabic you would say,
راح الحمام تكرم
raaH il-Hammaam tikram
where
راح
raaH - he went
الحمام
il-Hammaam - the restroom/bathroom
