A horde of Egyptians hoard water.
</nitpick>
The linked article doesn’t exactly say they’re hoarding, just that they’re buying what’s available. Perhaps (lame suggestion ahead) the Washington Post meant they were being an Egyptian “horde” or mob as far as the bottle water sellers was concerned? Maybe? shrug
Naw, they made a spelling mistake that’ll be corrected within the day… possibly the hour.
Pity. Means they won’t have Nelson pointing a finger at them and “haw hawing” much longer.
