This is related to my previous question.

Some people rent a home every year during the summer. When they get there, they have to do a lot of cleaning so it will be ready. There is a lot of action with water, kids getting in the way, people wanting to eat, etc. Describing the situation, a lady says:

هى حوسة برضه بينى و بينك عشان تفتح و تنضف
‫ و اللى داخل و اللى طالع و
bazwata
‫ و كله عايز ياكل
لا التلبيخ بقى المية و العيال

agree Samar Higazi : أعتقد أن الكلمة المقصودة هي "زروطة" وهي مرادفة للحوسة في هذا السياق.
