mon., 28 apr., 2014: greek to thee & me, i.: give us This Day our Daily Curse

GREEK:  αδερφή  —  aderfi  (sing.)  / αδερφός  —  aderfós  ( pl.)  ‡

GREEK:  αδελφή  —  adelfi ( sing.)  /  αδελφός  —  adelfós  (pl.)   ‡

 ‡ )      Gay male,  efeminite  —  old school invective,  usually considered to be insulting & homophobic, equiv. to “sissy-mary”.  & relatively harmless, until you consider that over the past few months, Greek fascists  assassinated a famous artist merely for being sympathetic to gay rights, & speaking his mind on the issue...
