I said all the Jews I met are spastic. Perhaps I was unlucky and I haven't met anyone who is not. I will tell you for sure if my pre-conception is true for the average Jew after I visit Israel.

No you come along and tell me what you think of the average Jew. I am not going to call you a racist, I just want to know your pre-conception.

Of course you can always hide behind your finger and tell lies, just from fear of being called "racist"

What do the TC's call settlers?? (in Turkish)


I don't know how is called in Turkish. In case you doubt it's true, look at Atca but still it's in English.

Actually the discussion at Atca was NOT against the settlers. They were saying something along the lines "we should stop calling our brothers from Turkey derogatory names like a,b,c.

I'm at a loss for words : the postings on this thread are becoming out and out racist - it simply offensive and criminal. Please stop.

It's not used for the TCs. It's used for the settlers. In fact they are called 3 names: a)Karasakalis, b)fija, and c) "i am an idiot". The first is equivalent to the GC word Kalamarades the second is Cypriot village language meaning seaweeds. (they came from the sea uninvided like seaweeds)

It seems you've been away from Cyprus for too long??


Pyro
I have not been away from Cyprus at all...I am a born bred Cypriot Turk from Limassol....I did spend a couple of years in UK back in the late seventies but ever since then i have always been in Cyprus..
Let me explain something for you..the "TC" i quoted on my previous answer was a typo mistake but we do amongst ourselves refer to them as TC's (TC) this is one of the names we call Turks from mainland...TC stands for Turkiye Cumhuriyeti..They dont like being called TC :wink:

Now we have other names for them which they dont like..such as Fija,Gaco,Karasakal but i dont recall anything that translates into "i am an idiot" :?


Iceman, are you a Cypriot Turk, or a Turkish Cypriot? If you were born in Limassol, and since as far as I know Limassol is situated in Cyprus, then chances are you are a Turkish Cypriot! Unless of course if you haven't yet heard that Cyprus constitutes a nation-state of its own, a member of the UN and now of the EU!

Oh boy!
The question is whether this expression is told or not, and I don't see why Atca can be excluded in this respect.

Here some links. In one of them they discuss in Turkish propably in there you can find the translation

I cannot believe what ive read here, this thread proves that us cypriots, whether locals or expats have a "we are better than others attitude". With this attitude i can see us solving the cyprob, NOT.
I was hoping that this post was going to be a little more meaningful whilst reading it but it has just proved what bigots we can be.
