It means "bill" like your check when you go out for dinner:<BR/><BR/>loh-gar-ias-mo.<BR/><BR/>"Check please" in Greek is "Toh logariasmo, parakalo".<BR/><BR/>It is very difficult to say when you're drunk of your hiney, as one often is when asking for the check in Greece.Sweet Coalminerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10678229280925802669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836584.post-1130517423184296252005-10-28T12:37:00.000-04:002005-10-28T12:37:00.000-04:00Mr. NK says the words "outfit" and "healthcare" ma...Mr. NK says the words "outfit" and "healthcare" make his skin crawl. Also "panties" which seems to be on a lot of people's list. When I feel like irritating him I'll announce that I just did laundry and so he has plenty of clean panties. It amuses me how freaked he gets when I say that.<BR/><BR/>I guess we're weird, too!Muddystingbeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01417643867274346446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836584.post-1130512360983409422005-10-28T11:12:00.000-04:002005-10-28T11:12:00.000-04:00OK, my two absolute most hated words are 'panties'...OK, my two absolute most hated words are 'panties' and 'lover'. Add also the phrase 'making love'. It'sall too Bold and Beautiful for me!<BR/><BR/>In a sentence: 'My lover removed my panties and made love to me'.<BR/><BR/>Now is that ICK or what?????<BR/><BR/>No, the word thing is not strange but a sadly neglected chore of English Speakers everywhere. These words need to be held to account!Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16390479974754816006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836584.post-1130511936150585502005-10-28T11:05:00.000-04:002005-10-28T11:05:00.000-04:00How does your husband feel about the word "fricass...How does your husband feel about the word "fricassee"? That's a word that's always bugged me. Interesting that all of these words are nouns. I wonder if it's just that nouns get under our skins more than other parts of speech. Annoying adverbs, anyone?Ann Howellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02330639889849276318noreply@blogger.com
