I read it again and again and I dont get it…
You rip these?
Yeah, you mend these?
Thanks I really didnt knew how to pronounce this stroks of letters inside my head 😅
In ancient Greek, the ending -es is pronounced eez, eg Heracles is hair-ah-cleez. So, ironically, it comes out like they have Italian accents. “You rip-a deez?” and “you men’-a deez?”
With an accent it would be: u rip dis? (Did you rip this?) then the reply would be: u mend dis? (Do you mend this?)
From what I understand, the Eu is pronounced like Ef.
I used to work with a guy named Eutychios. He went by George.
He just gave up.
In the case of Eytychios, the E-Y diphthong is indeed pronounced as Ef but in the case of Eyripidis it is actually pronounced as Ev I’m afraid (as in Europe – Eyropi – is pronounced Ev-ro-o-pee). Sorry for the inconvenience 🤣
Thanks for the info! Clearly I had a lot more to learn from George.
It took me a long time to figure out how to read those two names since I actually know a tiny bit of Greek.
Eulickedes nutz
Some Car Talk staff members over here.
When I’m making examples for forms, I use their staff credit names. Marge Innovera gets used pretty frequently.

I miss Car Talk I really really do.
NPR still puts out a “best of” podcast that scratches the itch for me.
Euripides? Eiripidos!
Never gets old.
Euripadese I breakayourface
Did ancient Greeks wear pants? Maybe he ripped them off a barbarian? Euripides actually mentions pants and mocks them.
The Young Ones did this one way better.
Link?

Watch the whole sequence (from 06:15 to 07:30). Ignore the insanely inaccurate subtitles.
I love this show!
2 seconds of funny text vs 1 minute of loud high pitched hard to understand talking over a canned laugh track. Agree to disagree :)
Hmmm…I’m partly deaf and had no trouble understanding it.
Apart from certain pre-filmed sequences, The Young Ones was filmed in front of a live studio audience.
Guessing it has to do with accents and region.
You might be on to something there. I’m Australian, so the accents are easily understandable to me.
Car talk too. (Among many others)
Frasier being one of the others.
I heard Woody Allen do this in the 60’s. Nice revival of a good line.
Then he goes to the barber who asks “Aristophenes?”
Eumenides nuts!
Downvote for being too lazy to type those few words in.
Euwhinides?
… what words?
Same.
Yep. They happily send two, three, or five thousand bytes images instead of maybe 50 bytes of text. The worst have that image in the centermost 20%, and black emptyness at the top and bottom from the screenshot they took instead of just copying the text.

Huh, imagine that, you’ve never posted any content, yet you whine about others contributing. Be the change you want to see perhaps?
