•	"Fella" as a social slur. The word derives from the Arabic word Fellah for "ploughman" or "tiller" and of a lower caste (or social standing). Whilst not considered derogatory when used by higher echelons of Egyptian society the term quickly became a racial slur within the ranks of the British Army during the second World War especially in the El Alamein region of Egypt. The modern usage of Fella is today considered rude and offensive to soldiers. It infers that they are of a lesser social standing than that of their officers.
