كنوع من الكولكة وتمسيح الجوخ

[bamia]

Hello everyone! Context: a woman is putting up WhatsApp statuses that might be perceived as provocative. The author of the text I'm reading suggests that she may be doing this " كنوع من الكولكة وتمسيح الجوخ ". Is this an expression? What does it mean? I can't figure it out.

I don’t know what كولكة is, but in Egyptian usage (and assume other dialects as well) مَسْح الجُوه means flattery, to cajole someone يِمسَح له جوه.

 

[Mahaodeh]

I have no idea what كولكة is, perhaps it’s from a dialect I’m not very familiar with, or it’s a new word, or maybe slang.

However, تمسيح الجوخ is a figure of speech meaning “to agree or be nice to someone because they are important, powerful, or influential”.

 

[Abbe]

It seems that the meaning is hypocrisy

ما معنى الكولكة؟
الفلسطينيون منا ممن عاشوا في سوريا أو في لبنان نتيجة للتهجير واللجوء والنزوح سيفهمون معنى "الكولكة"، أو معنى نسبة صفة "مكولك" لشخص ما. وهي الصفة التي تعادل في لغتنا العربية الفصحى معنى من معاني النفاق أو التحايل

تمسيح الجوخ is brown nosing.
كولكة is a synonym of نفاق
