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. Ok, I admit it, I peeked, but OPA does not mean the cheese is on fire, it means "HELL YEAH" and then after you scream "OPA" it is a signal to the waitress that your glass is empty and it is time to fill it back up with OUZO. They cut you off from any more OUZO when you fall into the plater of flaming cheese. Sheesh, you need to get your Greek correct. ![]() Actually when I asked the waitress she said it meant something like "hooray" Wicki had a few translations as well. Now here's what happens next: Donny will correct your "plater" then Harry will chime in with his story on how he was a sponge diver one summer during school vacation. Then the choir will chime in with a chorus of liar liar pants on fire. |
