I don't think so. At least i have never heard it anywhere else before. It's like the word "bamboozling" in India, that seems to be used more by them than anyone else. ;)
Where are you from? My relatives live in Melbourne. They are part of the greek community that was brought / invited after WW 2 to kickstart the economy. Somewhat like the italians in germany.
I'm from Melbourne. Most of my childhood friends were Greek. I lived in a predominantly Greek part of town. There is still a huge Greek population there.
That's so cool. It would be so funny if you know my family over there ;) The world is so small :) Does the surname Kolokythas ring a bell?
It's possible I could have come across that name when I was living in that area. I don't recall. I moved from that area about twenty years ago. Greek culture was everywhere in Melbourne in the 80s. Television shows, plays, etc. Not so much now.
It's a small world.
Really? Television shows? Wow, i didn't know it was that big. Australia is so nice. Specially Melbourne. I love the area around the Library in the city center. I wonder if that place is still around that sells all things chocolate. Had my best hot chocolate ever there.
I absolutely love the fact that this post got you two talking about cultures and small world stories, @naquoya and @multi4g!
words connect. and some have so much story behind them. i really love australia. if it wasn't for all the deadly animals, i would probably live there. :)
The deadliest animals are all in Parliament House (see the cyclical nature of this conversation?)
