Ade re *rude word*, bet you anything your kids call you a *rude word* everyday. Dont you live in Greece *rude word*? Calling one a *rude word* is like calling one buddy.
I observe that, when nervous, you use polished manners !
A SMALL LECTURE ON '*rude word*'
a) For guys less than 20 years old
This word is used in vocative "Re *rude word*" between youngsters and highschool students. It is used when you make some blunder or careless move.
When used between friends, it is not an insult.
But when a stranger shouts to you "Where the hell are you going, re *rude word* ?", because you made a wrong turn with
your car, this is actually an insult.
b) For grown up people
Nobody calls fis friend "re *rude word*". It is used to a very close friend when he makes a blunder as followes
"Kala, *rude word* eisai ? Why you did that ?"
"Well, are you *rude word* ? Why you did that ?"
c) Between strangers, irrespective of age
It is always an insult.
d) Between women
Only women of lower social status use this word.

The only explanation for CMBMN is ignorance of Greek language and Greek customs.
But generally speaking, her literary style towards me is clearly provocative.
As for you, you are clearly insulting me. I expect such behavior from men(*), but not from women.
(*)PS : Greeks are worse than you when adressing to Macedonians. So I understand you. But do not class me in this category. I never use base language to ANYBODY.
Thanks for the explanation *rude word*, but i seen things a little different last time i was in Greece. Everyone was a *rude word* espesially amongst the young. *rude word* was used more than any other word never did i see anyone get angry because of it. The greeks even had a top hit called *rude word* ise, remember that one Andrea? No need for you to get offended *rude word*..
