well we have many common words especially swears, some of the are;

pezevenk=pezevengis=pimp
ibne=bnes=catamite
pust=poustis=catamite (i am not sure if it is said in eng. as a swear)
kahpe=kahpe=deceitful woman, a bit better than whore :oops:
kara kahpe= kara kahpe=black bitch (black is used for exaggeration, doent mean black in colour)
surtuk=sourtouka=kind of bitch, but not tht bad.

to be continued... :roll:

Could someone answer Jerry's question as I'm having difficulty retaining a serious composure... :?

What do you expect us to do now Jerry... analyse the fine art of pezevengikliki or perhaps that of the world's oldest profession??? :roll:

Somehow this topic isn't quite going as planned... I was hoping we'd exchange a few funny lightweight swear-words and along comes TC and turns it into a bloody brothel...
