 thisnamecantbetaken says: Dear Cecil: "With reference to your column on gestures, did you leave out or just not know that in Greece the five fingers spread out and thrust forward at someone means "[poo] in your face"? - Had to Tell You. Cecil replies: "Thank you for sharing that with us. Just shows you how the Greeks continue to enrich civilization. "  Desmond Morris did a whole episode dedicated to these gestures on The Human Animal (in the 90's). It's interesting all the different methods people have for indicating yes and no across the globe. I knew that long time before once in Sofia in a street cafe flower seller offered me to buy for my mate beautiful lilies of valley. I nodded and reached for the wallet, but then did not understood why the guy disappeared until laughing girl explained me the reason. I think the same custom is in Japan also. Oh I didn't know that ^^^ In case of the Bulgarians this may derive from their Gypsies longlasting kind to earn money! (I love to make comments that make all the p.c. liers cry!) Even body language can be misinterpreted. No wonder so much communication is lost in translation. (I love to make comments that make all the p.c. liers cry!)There were liers[/i] in a ambush against him. Josh. viii. 14.  Read more >> Options >> Just come back from Bulgaria ,,ha,ha,its funny and confusing Once you know the gestures and people use them automatically without thinking it sure makes it hard to lie. Doesn't it. Hi, wiganfootie! Nice to get you back here!  You had good luck! The most of their gypsies are here this time! Hi aklimento! Your comment is not understandable for me! Where is the attacking and killing of the habitants of the holy land 3000 years before interconnected with the todays political lies? In Denmark they say "næ" (nae) when they mean no. In Greece the phonetically identical word means yes. So when someone in Greece offers to buy you a beer, just say no! I love misinterpretations.  Cheers, Kreuzberg-Jakob! The quote from your comment was out of context from first glance, but now I can see it perfectly fit. Especially with your following explanations. It has a little racial shade, don't you find? Hi aklimento! This is, what I mean! If I say, that wiganfootie had good luck, because the gypsies from the Balkan came mostly to our cities, it's not a trace of racism! It's the truth! They are here! And they have no possibility to earn any € in legal manner. Well, street beggars are not illegal, but to have a crowd of enslaved women and babies below 2 years is! The Gypsie's society is highly archaic, patriarchal, illiterate and also religious. The clans chief has the papers of all the older women, perhaps of thr whole clan; what's about the young girls and women, I don't know - I never have seen any. The kids between 6 and 14 go to pocketpicking. The women have to sit on the streets durin... What a fountain of thoughts, Kreuzberg-Jakob! No wonder so many thinkers were from German, Nietzsche including. Did you shake your head and said no in Balkans, when they offered to buy you a beer? They are all liers in ambush against you. BTW, is the name Creutzfeldt-Jakob mean something to you? |
