Greek expressions6/18/2023 ‘ Plirose ti nifi‘ – ‘He paid the bride’ Greek expression Their penchant for bodily functions, that, I can’t explain, but no doubt Sigmund Freud, psychoanalyst, would have a field day! I considered leaving them out but they are some of the best, in my opinion, and Greeks take no offence with them whatsoever, all used in good fun, after all, the Greek preoccupation with all things erotic, goes back thousands of years, to ancient Greece, when sexuality and love were linked to the creation of Earth, Heaven and Hell. I have done my best to decipher these twenty, off the wall Greek expressions for you, of which there is no perfect translation, and I’ll just add here, sorry in advance, for some of the more er, how can I put it, indelicate, smutty sayings? Greek isn’t one of the easiest foreign languages to master and when it comes to everyday quips and wisecrack sayings, which usually contain Greek slang, unless you are Greek, or have lived in their country for about half a century, you will find some of them positively nonsensical.Īs a non-Greek, when you do manage to finally grasp the meaning of these insanely absurd one-liners, which are thrown into conversation willy nilly by Greeks, without batting an eyelid, you may very well find yourself rolling around on the floor laughing with your legs in the air! Funniest and dirtiest nonsensical Greek one-liners.
