Opa the Greek translation:

Oh my god, the cheeze is on fire.

We had a wonderful meal at Hella's in Tarpon Springs last night to
celebrate our 36th.

I heard someone shout out "opa" several times during the meal. It seems
like it's a greek tradition to shout out "opa" when a platter of flaming
cheeze arrives at the dinner table.

It's a Dutch tradition for kids to shout out 'Opa' when an old, ugly,
almost decrepit asshole enters the room - provided the old guy is
their grandfather! :)
