NP!! I have invented a little world for myself in which it is called a Barra!! 8) Then when things in Cyprus became a little more peaceful I can hear an old Ottoman shouting " Gettir be Ali o barrayi kapinin arkasindan, sok yerin icine ve bagla bu eseyi gacmasin bise gene"!!!! :lol:

So what is the conclusion from this thread?

Started by a Turk to insinuate we stole one of their dirty words. No GCs, BCs ar ACs have heard of, or used, such a word except as its English homonym.

Extrapolations reveal a propensity for the enforcement of a number of Turkish swear words to neighbours (Russians etc), in linguistic mimicry of their enforced invasions.

No good will come from Turkish rules ...

My two dictionaries of the TC dialect have different etymologies of this word, as used in the sense of 'go away, get away'.

According to Bener Hakkı Hakeri's dictionary, it comes from Arabic.

According to Orhan Kabataş's dictionary it comes from the Italian 'barra', which comes from the Farsi 'barrah'.
