Thanks, Themis. What is the difference between άλλο τίποτα & τίποτα άλλο?

Τhanks, 'Man. :)

Thanks, Nickel & 'Man.

Thanks, both, for your help. I suppose that in the context of the label on the evaporated milk tin βλάχα means 'dairy maid/country girl' & not Wallachian? :)

An article by Tim Bowen tells us all about the commonly-used suffix -wise because, grammar-wise, he's an expert. The suffix –wise is a versatile one. Apart from some fixed expressions where it means 'in the direction of', e.g. lengthwise, clockwise, anti-clockwise and useful function words such...

In a version of the song 'Man mentioned to me [Τζιν, τζιν, τζιν] the above line occurs. What is the relevance of a reference to a Greek manufacturer of dairy products in this context? :confused:

A comprehensive list & a good song to go with it! Thanks, 'Man.

'ripped jeans &c Societies proof that dressing like a hobo has finally ascending to becoming a status symbol. Popularized in the 1980s, the fashion trend revolves around wearing jeans which are ripped, frayed, bleached or excessively worn. In spite of common sense indicating otherwise, it has...

Like me! Thanks, Nickel. By the way, is there a bow on the head? :)

So Angela Merkel has thrown a double six & in her deal with Greece has taken everything away. This is what μίζερους means here--abject rather than tight-fisted & clearly derived from the Latin miser (wretched, miserable). The populo is the victim. Is the crucified man meant to look like a...

Thanks, Philip. Is the εξάρει from a different word, meaning 'she highlights/praises'?

Thanks, SBE. I can guess the other half.:omg::huh:

This cartoon some may, like me, find somewhat offensive. What do tho words mean & why is the superscription over the cross entitled ΠΟΠΟΛΟ? I'm not sure of the meaning of ΕΞΑΡΕΣ either. .:curse::(

Τhanks again, SBE, for all the information that you take the time to send me: I hope you do not find it too irksome a task. Your comments are always prompt, worth reading and to the point. You criticise me when you think I have exceeded the bounds of propriety, yet in such a way that I do not...

Thanks, SBE, as always for your kind but rigorous help....

Oops! I didn't think there was any sexual reference in this context....:)

Να είσαι καλά, Θέμι.

The words in bold I need help with. At last the very end of the infamous article I have finished! Όλα υποκοριστικά… ζωούλα, δουλίτσα, σπιτάκι, παιδάκια. Όλα υποκοριστικά, μη τυχόν και τα δουν και του τα πάρουν. ΝΑΙ ΣΕ ΟΛΑ λοιπόν. Αλλά μη λες πως δεν σ’ αρέσει στα τέσσερα κι επαναληπτικώς εις...

Ζητώ είναι η σωστή λέξη μα τι στο διάολο έγινε στην Αυτόματη μου! Διόρθωση!:devil:

Is ο Τζάμπας the name of a cheap restaurateur or a chain similar to McDonald's, who sells cheap fast food & has cut [is χτυπώ a possible technical term?] the prices of food to match the relative poverty of some of 'his' customers? a kind of culinary poundstretcher? Why did Η ΔΕΗ divide its...
