A Sudden surge of t-shirt sales with I was born reem, I am reem, team reem and don’t be jel be reem has recently raised a massive question. What does reem Mean? After doing a small amount of research on the internet we discovered the word “reem” used in the reality TV show The Only Way Is Essex by Joey Essex (popularly called “TOWIE”) to describe his hair.

Reem Joining vajazzle, ohshatuuuup and jel in the Essex dictionary, we know have the word reem. Invented inside the mysterious empty void that is Joey Essex’s brain, we’re not entirely clear what the term means, but apparently it’s a phrase of endearment. It may seem idiotic right now (and it is), but trust us, you’ll all be saying it in a couple of months’ time. As Joey Essex so poetically posted on his Twitter account, “Look reem… smell reem… be reem… Reem.”

The show is UK’s answer to  the “The Hills” or “Jersey Shore”.  The show has gone insane on Social Media. Like what happens in pop culture, Joey’s usage of the word “REEM”  has gone viral! Check The slang usage is apparently derived from Swedish and is used to describe an incredibly sexy and physically talented individual. A “reem” is always envied and desired by others who are not able to reach “reem status” as well as those who are.  This is now used like an adjective. Check Joey Essex Facebook update. There is even a Facebook Community Page for the Joey Essex derived usage of the word Reem.

What is the real meaning of the word “Reem”? Many people have asked us what my name actually means…to which I have had no clear answer! While “Reem” is used as a female name in the Arab world (for ex: Reem Acra), in the Dutch nation, its used for males (Ex: Eric van Reem). This confounds the matter even more.
