Um...yeah...Hadji isn't even an Arabic name.[/b]
I thought we covered this way back in August or so. Haji is US-slang for any Arab, just as Jerry was for Germans, and Charlie was for the VC. I haven't met any Germans named Jerry, and I highly doubt you will meet a Vietnamese named Charlie.
I have always heard people refer to Arabs as Abdul if they want a slang word.
Never heard Jerry for Germans before. Always thought it was just "kraut."
When I hear Hadji, I think of Johnny Quest...and India.
