Wow! Good find, cougr (you must spend all day on the internet - I'd rather just guess - «ντε λαξο ντε», imagination!).:rolleyes:

It could be mimicking "de luxe," but it could also be hinting at λάκτισμα (kick) or even λαξομαι (Ionian, future tense - "I am destined to receive") ... or all three things at once? Drawing a long poetic bow ... Away from the urban din, in the quiet and luxurious surrounds, there's an urge to...

Agreed. You make a good point. As I said earlier, I brought up “luck out” a while ago in the other thread where it fit better - you know, the one encouraging and reminding us to dig deeper into what words/phrases might really mean, beyond their impressionistic surface feel, for the possible...

I mentioned "luck out" before in another thread, I think? But what I had to say wasn't given much credence and was even challenged (never mind). :-) This is what chatgpt has to say, anyway ... "The phrase "luck out" has different meanings depending on the region: In American English (most...

...το είδα σαν ειρωνική ή σουρεαλιστική αποδόμηση της φράσης/slogan «είμαι δίπλα σου». Με αυτή τη λογική, νόμιζα η γραμματική παρατυπία γίνεται ποιητική αδεία.

I'm not doubting that it could, as you say. But the other phrase leaves no doubt, and is the better choice (when referring to one behind the other). Anyway, here's chatgpt's response ... "Not quite — "walking in a row" most commonly means side by side, like three or more people walking next to...

Did you mean walking in a single file (in a row would mean side by side)?

(the drug/substance that defines me... it's my birthday, I think I might have had one too many)

(I used poetic license with κινεί βαθιά ... με συγκινεί, με αγγίζει βαθιά)

What makes me tick can also mean that you're drawn towards something essential ... είναι η ουσία που με καθορίζει (ή με κινεί βαθιά ... to the core);

That "στριγκαρετε" part, Theseus, I'm not entirely sure, but it could be referring to a string bikini - maybe the outline is visible and causing offense (to add to the frustration of the doorway being blocked). This is what I hear, anyway: "Όχι ρε π__στη, μια άλλη με το στρινγκ κάθεται μπροστά...

Also, perhaps: agricultural zone (in general) or rural land/non-residential agricultural land (για να περιγράψουν περιοχές εκτός οικισμών που χρησιμοποιούνται για γεωργία);

Μιας και είναι Πάσχα, και σχετικό με το θεμα της συζήτησης, ίσως έχει ενδιαφέρον να σημειώσουμε ότι αυτή η πορτοκαλοκαφέ πεταλούδα (παρακάτω) ονομάζεται Pasha (its orange-brown coloration might justify it being called "tawny"; in any case, there are other varieties like the Tawny Emperor).
