Emm.. do you live in Cyprus?
Yes ... I have seen it performed (never been at the receiving end yet) ... but it's not the sort of thing you bring up during the morning coffee chat session
Tell me please!
You should never feel embrarassed to explain something.
My mum uses the word. She says it when I do something wrong. I am not sure what she means though, I am not born in Cyprus and have only been living here for a short while, so sorry I could not help.
