Ευχ, Ντομινοθεωρία.

Thanks again, 'Man. Sorry for the smut. That seemed to be the only context the words were used in.:(

Thanks for this long exhaustive note, 'Man. What might you call a quack, employing a term exclusively used for bad doctors?:)

I know that πρέφα is a card game but is this the only use of the word or is it used metaphorically? Παίρνω πρέφα means 'to get wind of' but are there any more useful idioms with πρέφα in?

These two proverbs contain the same obscure word. What does it mean?:- Γίνηκαν τά σκατά, νά μπαταλιάρουν οί κώλοι & Γίνηκαν οι κώλοι, νά μπαταλιάρουν’ τά μουνιά.:)

This note of yours is ever so helpful. I had to search all over the place for the meaning of (συχνό)μπουκουνάτο.

Thanks, both.

Thanks, SBE. I knew the phrase Δεν σ' έχω ανάγκη but I couldn't make sense of this phrase & clearly misread Sarant. Guilty as charged....

After three hours, I have nearly got the meaning. This is what I make of it:- For years the country inside NATO wanted to marry a tomcat [Russia?] northern, cold & bearded: but, alas!, it hit rock bottom. The Leaders put a grandmother to lead their country. They showed submission to the tomcat...

Thanks, Sarant. So the words in bold mean, idiomatically translated:- 'I am not your....?'

Thanks, Earion. In slang.gr both usages are given &, as SBE says, it does say that σκίτζης often precedes the word 'doctor':- Ο τσαρλατάνος, ο επαγγελματικά άχρηστος, ο ανίδεος. Προηγείται συχνά της λέξης ιατρός. ΠΑΡΑΔΕΙΓΜΑ - Δεν αισθάνομαι καλά, θα πάω να με εξετάσει ο γιατρός του 1ου ορόφου...

From slang.gr: — Εμένα να προσέχεις πως μου μιλάς, δε σε 'χω και τίποτα, να ξες.... — Θα με κλάσεις! Φάε λάδι και έλα βράδυ... Is the above dialogue a string of insults? What does the phrase in bold mean? 'I consider you as worth nothing', you should know'?:twit:

I cannot make heads nor tails of this item of news (?!) from Το Χωνί:- Χρόνια η χώρα μες στο ΝΑΤΟ θέλησε να παντρευτεί ένα γάτο, βόρειο, κρύο και βαρβάτο, μα έπιασε, αλί, τον πάτο. Βάλαν τη γιαγιά οι Ταγοί τη χώρα τους να οδηγεί. Στο γάτο δήλωσαν υποταγή με CASH κι όχι επιταγή. Κι ο λαός στο...

Thanks, SBE! The discussion of σκίτζης in slang.gr supports the usage you give here.

Thanks, Nickel! So much time spent on unnecessary court cases & appeals as well as on all sorts of trivia. Getting to the point is very rare in very many areas of activity....:cheek::mellow:

Thanks, Nickel. In slang.gr the example given of στο δια ταύτα is used to illustrate a sexual nuance:- --Λίλιαν: Με κέρασε, λοιπόν, ο Αρίστος σούσι. Κι ήταν, που λες, Λάουρα, πολύ ωραία τα σασίμι, αλλά ακόμη πιο ωραία τα νιγίρι σούσι. --Λάουρα: Έλα, έλα, στο διά ταύτα πες μου τι έγινε! ['Come...

What is the modern Greek meaning of the above phrase? I know what it means in Classical Greek but in Modern Greek it is the name of a programme and a film. I also am aware that στο δια ταύτα means sex. But the title seems to be some sort of filler.:confused:

Thanks again, SBE. In the folk song and dance Κάτω στην Άη Γιώργη in the version commonly used in Corfu, I can't identify most of the instruments. For example, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XT7fZE_gTvM.

Thanks, SBE. The sentiment is similar to St Matthew 24:2:- 'There shall not be left one stone upon another'(referring to the destruction of Jerusalem).:cry:

Thanks, 'Man. I now see that AoratiMelani used the expression to you in my thread 'a tiger toilet #7:- Τίποτα όρθιο, ούτε γλωσσοδέτες, ούτε κάλαντα! Πάνε οι παραδόσεις! Down the drain, μαζί με τις δίαιτες. Να 'σαι καλά, daeman, δεν τα ήξερα τα παλικάρια.
