Dancing Arab Christmas Confusion

Text on the meme

My wife wants a "Dancing Arab" for Christmas. What the hell is that? My sister-in-law told me in confidence that my wife wants a "Dancing Arab" for Christmas. My wife has Lebanese ancestry so I'm tempted to think that she wants me to do a traditional arabic dance for her. Another part of me thinks it's some sort of product but I don't know what it is. Can you guys help me out? A Dyson Airwrap? HOLY SHIT THIS IS IT

What it means

A Reddit screenshot shows a confused husband asking what a “Dancing Arab” might be, assuming it refers to a traditional Arabic dance because of his wife’s Lebanese ancestry. A commenter correctly guesses that she means a Dyson Airwrap, producing the punchline when the husband realizes the expensive hair-styling product is what she wants for Christmas. This meme is sent as a reaction to misunderstandings, especially when an innocent phrase turns out to refer to an unexpected product or purchase.
