      That’s… obscure, I guess, if I don’t speak Arabic and less funny if I have to read the explanation without knowing the pun, but nowhere near offensive.

          I think you might appreciate the German word “Scheinwerfer”:

          (The joke is that the word “Schein” can mean both the “shine” of a lamp or paper bills, and “Werfer” means thrower or caster. So a “shine-caster” aka light or a “bill-thrower” depending on how you interpret it.)
