mengene means vise, clamp, cramp, mangle, press... choose the word you like kifeas

Literally, they put the tail of a pig into a press, when they open the press after 40 years, they see the tail is still spiral.

I didn't really care what this particular person says. I just wanted to record the fact that he made a posting in Turkish without providing a translation.

Thanks anyway!

All the above said with due respect of course

That's exactly how someone(s) have replied to me when I asked this hypothtical question about the number of settlers.

Anyway, my reply was not a cop out at all. If you read all the discussion you will understand what I mean.
