Ars (slang)

Derogatory term for an Israeli man of Mizrahi ethnicity

Ars (Hebrew: ערס `ars), or Arsim (the plural in Hebrew) is an Israeli subculture, and a slang term in Hebrew. Originally used as an ethnic slur referring to Mizrahi Jews, the term has evolved and is now more broadly applied to describe anyone part of a perceived thuggish subculture of machismo.
