'Amameirevge' to all of you.

Does the above make any sense to any of you. Insan to answer first. No insult intended.

It's a condense version of 'Lamne mavro-yirefke'

Literally it means 'Go black-search', ( ), which means 'take a hike!' or something similar...

Wot a mouthful for such a tame word!!

...and it's all Greek, no Turkish in it, which means you are off-topic! Again!

Ha siktir sen da. I was responding to Strahd who asked if anything Greek was used by the TCs.

I was just making fun of you. Again!

No offense!

Reh amma iese bellos?

Evet, shillobellos (dogcrazy)!

Don't worry though, I have always been your friend.

Dogcrazy......... i never met a dog that crazy only humans .......

My first WMD sample is now complete. Mark the date. A new era has begun.

i used the word "toupouzi" in cyprus in conversation with a young fellow and had no clue what it meant......i guess we qualify as the older generation of cypriots

sefakerti = sefageldin = you are welcome, you bring happiness (I am pleased to see you)

topouzi = topuz = heavy long 'cosh' like what shepherds use. A long stick with a knob at one end.

mashala = ma'shallah = by God (you are beautiful)

kele = kelle = skull,head

keletzi = kelleci = one who sells sheeps/goats heads.

The others Yfred might know. I think they are Greek.

kuroupetos, needs a special mention.

Kuru = dry

Petos = petoman? = a man who farts

KP = a dry fart
