Shwayeh Shwayeh

You’ve probably heard of an en–dash, em—dash and the regular old dash-dash. But Hebrew has a special one called upper־dash, which for the most part is pretty much like a regular dash, used for things like repeating־repeating words־words.

In chocolate here we have an upper־dash #ambigram of shwayeh־shwayeh שוויה־שוויה: a phrase of Arabic origins meaning “chill, one moment buddy, take your time.”

Next time you’re feeling anxious, just reach for a bar of the nearest chocolate and remember to take things shwayeh־shwayeh.
