Casa Trash

 If you said this in America most people would think of the label "White Trash", which would be people who do not have money.  It is the opposite in Casablanca as "Casa Trash" represents those with money.  The wonderful Tahrir Shah writes about it in his book "The Arabian Nights." Tahrir being an intelligent, wise, and humble man strongly dislikes the "Casa Trash" as they have little intelligence, but a lot of money and desire to flaunt it all over town. 

From the book: Female Casa Trash is dressed in the latest Gucci or Chanel is heeled in Prada and is so thin that you wonder how her organs even function. Her vision is obscured by oversized sunglasses and her mouth is masked in lipstick of such thickness and viscosity that it hinders her speech.

She can be found in a handful of chicks haunts such as Chez Paul, picking up platter of imported salad leaves, smoking designer cigarettes and rearranging her curls.  She never looks at the friend she has come to lunch with because she on her phone and too preoccupied scanning other tables to make sure she is being seen.

The male variety of Casa trash carries at least two mobile phones and has a diamond encrusted Rolex on his wrist.  He drives a black german 4X4 with frosted windows and rawhide seats.  He wears a black leather jacket, tight levi 501s and so much aftershave that your eyes water as he passes.  To show just how important he is, he speaks in a little bit more than just a whisper.  His hair is weighed down with handfuls of gel, shines like a bowling ball, and his teeth have been chemically whitened to show a Hollywood smile.
