Greek slang of the day

Ε, ποτέ! 

(pronounced “eh, po-TAY!”)


Eh, never!
A term used in Kolonaki which expresses surprise, in the spirit of “go to hell” and many related expressions, such as:
Ay, caramba!
What the fuck!
Christ and the Virgin Mary!
Christ and his mother!
Get out of here!
It doesn’t add up!
Example:
--Guess who I happened to see walking hand-in-hand downtown on Saturday?
--Who?
--Soula with Heracles!
--Eh, never!
