Sorry to be a nerd, but that's not really true. There is a greek word "oraios" (pronounced o-rye-us...and where is my damn greek font?) which means nice. However, the words kalos and eucharistos are much more common usages for the word "nice" (especially kalos), and even those are better translated as "good". I have never, ever seen "oraios" used in an eating context with any readings I've come across.bomber jackets are s tier
fun fact: oreo means nice (tasty) in greek
Those Samus dittos indeed. xDThose live streamed matches with King Funk were by far the most fun I've had on 5 frames. The ratio of hilarious ****:time was ridiculously high. Just ROFL. Those Samus dittos LOL.
Will prolly be streaming something late sunday (well afternoon for you), you can talk to me there. From now on I'm always posting a link on the social thread if I start streaming.I'll try no guarantees though
Don't forget Oreo Frosty'soh man, I'm craving oreos. Also, oreo mcflurries.
you're so insanely wrong it's laughableSorry to be a nerd, but that's not really true. There is a greek word "oraios" (pronounced o-rye-us...and where is my damn greek font?) which means nice.

I've also been told that oreo comes from the French "or" meaning gold, or the Greek "oros" meaning mountain. Conclusion? Some guy just named them oreos and a couple of people have tried waaay to hard to come up with a reason behind it.
In conclusion, oreo doesn't mean *****.
aborginals. i miss being racist to all of them back at high school. the jokes were HILARIOUSWhat's everyone else's favourite racist stereotype?

im almost certain that this is the most repulsive non-japanese concept ever presented to me on a screenGuys there is free live sonic fanfiction going on in galaxy right now
Game on.you're so insanely wrong it's laughable
do you have 4 greek grandparents who only speak greek? do you have 2 greek parents who speak in greek? did you go to greek school from the age of 8? did you live in greece for a month? were you brought up in greek culture from birth?
i'm sorry to burst your bubble but oreo is the most common greek word used to describe food as nice. i, as well as tens, possibly hundreds of other greek people i know use oreo to describe nice tasting food.
read that, *****
I think everyone and their mom did. Then I randomly heard from a friend of mine that Isai introduced himself as "iss-eye" naturally. Also I'm ASSUMING he's latino, and ASSUMING that's how you would pronounce it anyways, but this could all be wrong...Also, I was smashing with like 9 guys tonight and 5 of us all used to pronounce Isai "iss-eye"
quick google search yielded some resultsGame on.
Being Greek (apparently), I'm surprised you don't know the difference between ancient Greek and modern Greek. Just like there's a difference between modern English and old English...every language evolves NOOB.
Have I been balls deep in Greece? No. Have I studied 5 years of Greek, 4 years of Hebrew, 5 years of German, 1 year of Latin (lol), and 4 years of Spanish? You bet your sweet ***. Did I study etymology that whole entire time? Do I know how language works? Does a bear **** in the woods? Look up etymology because I probably lost you there. Big words and all.
What does this all mean? Let me summarize. What happened in Greece the last 100 years means ****. Who your parents are means ****. What Greek culture is today is ****. How many years you spent humping the ruins of the Areopagus means ****. You gotta go waay back, and back then there was simply no comparison because no ****in oreos existed, unless Socrates was wiser than he let on.
English and Greek use different alphabets for Christs' sake. I'll grant there might be similarities with MODERN GREEK USAGE, but to say that one word can exactly translate into another word is naive and asinine. Read that, *******.
