- Suddenly a Turkish cursing knowledge is surfaced here without no
- apparent reason. Since no name is given and it is only posted in SCT,
- this should be a generic cursing attempt to Turks in general.
- I hope that I am wrong. Nevertheless, the irony starts right there.
- Obvious from the name, the poster is a female (Elena! It is a lovely
- name by the way). Lets neglect the small possibilty that someone
- tries to wear Elena's skirt (why to be so skeptic). She calls some
- Turks (or may be all of them- who knows "pezavenghis" might be plural
- in Greek) generically "Pezevenk" probably without knowing the meaning.
- Because pezevenk means "pimp" in Turkish. Otherwise, she
- forgets one thing. Turkish males who were called pezevenk by a female
- who deals with them in this nasty manner, usually answer back as "if
- I am pezevenk what do you think you are. "
-
- I am not testing how far Elena can go. My point is no need to resort
- profanity while one can express herself easily like above.
- This goes to all who really want to communicate no matter
- how outrages they think that someone's posting was. Sure there are
- some hopeless causes who would not understand what I mean. For them I
- have nothing to say but a Turkish expression that I like: "Doctor told
- that those patients can eat whatever they want."
