In ancient Greek, the ending -es is pronounced eez, eg Heracles is hair-ah-cleez. So, ironically, it comes out like they have Italian accents. "You rip-a deez?" and "you men'-a deez?"
Yep. They happily send two, three, or five thousand bytes images instead of maybe 50 bytes of text. The worst have that image in the centermost 20%, and black emptyness at the top and bottom from the screenshot they took instead of just copying the text.

Eulickedes nutz
Did ancient Greeks wear pants? Maybe he ripped them off a barbarian? Euripides actually mentions pants and mocks them.
From what I understand, the Eu is pronounced like Ef.
I used to work with a guy named Eutychios. He went by George.
He just gave up.
I read it again and again and I dont get it...
With an accent it would be: u rip dis? (Did you rip this?) then the reply would be: u mend dis? (Do you mend this?)
You rip these?
Yeah, you mend these?

Some Car Talk staff members over here.
When I'm making examples for forms, I use their staff credit names. Marge Innovera gets used pretty frequently.
I heard Woody Allen do this in the 60's. Nice revival of a good line.
The Young Ones did this one way better.
Car talk too. (Among many others)

Watch the whole sequence (from 06:15 to 07:30). Ignore the insanely inaccurate subtitles.
I love this show!
2 seconds of funny text vs 1 minute of loud high pitched hard to understand talking over a canned laugh track. Agree to disagree :)
Eumenides nuts!
Downvote for being too lazy to type those few words in.
... what words?
Euwhinides?
Same.

Huh, imagine that, you've never posted any content, yet you whine about others contributing. Be the change you want to see perhaps?
