@Protoclete How many centuries will it take for the church to decide on an interpretation?

Stop making Estonia sad guys!!!! She's so nice and she just wants to be loved!!! You're making me cry shes so cute T^T

I was just about to laugh when I scrolled down and saw Estonia... :'(

Yaknow, speaking of which the good thing about this site is that we get to socialize with so many people from so many other countries and also learn some of their ways.

The phrase "It's all Greek to me" dates back to scribes writing in Latin, and said scribe might come across some non-Latin text. Then he would note "Graecum est; non legitur" because anything scholarly that wasn't in Latin was assumed to be Greek. By the time Shakespeare wrote Julius Caesar it was pretty well known, but his usage cemented it into English usage so much that using grey bars to signify lines of text is called "greeking" by graphic designers.

In german, its also Böhmische Dörfer, bohemian villages, or "ich verstehe nur bahnhof", i only understand train station, not only spanish

@Sarsey as I understand it, the phrase came from the Austro-Hungarian empire, as slavic languages are so different from German that it was a way of saying it was some incomprehensible language. Basically like saying "It's like being in a town that speaks Czech, not German, so I don't understand a word." Of course, it works the other way round, as the Slavic word for German ("Niemcy") meant "nonsense talkers".

I actually appreciate how "I only understand 'train station'" changes the focus: instead of saying "they are speaking nonsense" it says "I do not understand, my vocabulary is nigh nonexistent in that language."

@Fnordius Just a small correction, the slavic words for germans don't mean "nonsense talkers", they mean "mute people". Also, Slavic isn't a language, it's a language group, you example is from Polish.

Poor Estonia ^.^

in indonesia it's arabic or chinese..

@Zpurerknuch I thought there were a lot of Arab Indonesians.

@Mr_AxLark menurut loe????

@Zuperkrunch Another trick question : if I can read this, does that mean I'm fluent in english ? Or can you still read a word fine even if you have problems understanding the whole phrase ?

@Isdaril whatever.. Are u new? Hmm.. Still had made 9 comments.. If u're that weird "karlmarx" guy again... Just want u to know that from now on i will ignoring u.. :P

@Zuperkrunch Just discovered this amazing webcomic not long ago... Not so sure I know what you mean by "weird Karl Marx guy", but I guess I'm not him. Did I answer to one of your posts ? I'm not sure how I'm supposed to find those back...

Poor Eesti... :,(

I want Estonia to win Eurovision, so we can get a happy Estonia comic. I'd go to an Estonia Eurovision party

@missdisco She already won Eurovision in 2001, but sadly Humon won't make a Eurovision comic from the past
