(big/macho) Greek Explanation: It's used with a negative connotation. Gletsos is a heinous Greek actor, rather famous for his macho style. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 mins (2008-09-22 06:47:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Gletsos' first name is Apostolos, nothing to do with the 12 apostles. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2008-09-22 14:00:28 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Oh, lunatic Proz. I wrote a note which was actually never posted. So, regarding your questions: Exactly that. It's like the opposite of "modest". The feminine equivalanet is probably the same, ie η Ελληνάρας. Lol, btw, and off the record, the term is also commonly used by 'macho, chauvinist, rude, loud, argumentative and closed-minded' Greeks who consider themselves superior. What can you say.. Greeks! |
