#baeram

• Muslim holiday — An important religious holiday for Muslims, marking the end of the Ramadan fast or other sacred moments; a large noisy party, banquet, or private gathering organized by youth in colloquial language. The term evolved in modern Romanian from its strictly confessional meaning to a secular sense, indicating prolonged collective entertainment, often accompanied by music and abundant food.
• Holiday tribute — A gift, tribute, or sum of money offered in the past by subjects to Ottoman dignitaries or Romanian rulers on the occasion of the Bayram holiday; an official medieval protocol custom. In a pejorative or ironic sense, the term denotes an abusive fiscal obligation, a protocol bribe, or a massive expenditure imposed to gain the goodwill of an authority.
