    Did ancient Greeks wear pants? Maybe he ripped them off a barbarian? Euripides actually mentions pants and mocks them.

    From what I understand, the Eu is pronounced like Ef.

    I used to work with a guy named Eutychios. He went by George.

      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 🤣

      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?)

          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?”

      When I’m making examples for forms, I use their staff credit names. Marge Innovera gets used pretty frequently.

    I heard Woody Allen do this in the 60’s. Nice revival of a good line.

        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 :)

        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.
