driver's mouth if he (or she) perceives he's been wronged on the road. Since he/she

always

perceives such wrongdoing, it may be heard on every road at every hour of the day and night,
as Turks constantly compete with each other to win the Road Rudeness Award. It is stunning
how a people who are so kind and courteous 'on dry land' can become so foul when they get
behind the wheel of a car. Turkey is the only country we know that posts large roadside signs
imploring drivers to "

Control the Traffic Monster Inside You!

" It's Amaazzzing...

-- to swear, to cuss...

Note: This is likewise an "on-color" phrase -- as per the previous entry.

L

Lanet olsun! (lah-net ole-sun)

-- another all-purpose Turkish swear phrase...but it is in such general use that it doesn't have
much hard swear "value". Usually used to express mild vexation as in the various forms of
"damn it!" -- including "goddammit!" -- and "shit!" In that respect, it has similar usage to
"merde!" in French. Frequently used by Turkish film dubbers when they can't find a Turkish
equivalent for the more colorful English swear words and phrases -- or for the sake of
modesty. For example, we've seen dubbers replace "Oh, fuck!" on film with Lanet olsun!

-- the literal meaning, "Look under the table," can be offered up to your companion in a

[much

too]

public place, while the real meaning you wish to convey, "Go screw yourself" -- remains

neatly concealed under wraps of perfect decorum. The words are often accompanied by a
surreptitious hand signal

(displayed beneath the table)

in which the thumb is inserted between the

index and middle fingers. And, of course the whole package is wrapped in a sugary-sweet

pezevenk (pehz-eh-vehnk)

in Turkey. Politicians call each other this, military officials use it when referring to the Prime
Minister (whose Islamic politics they don't like at all), and anti-Government Islamic party
members shout it at political rallies -- when referring to secular government
officials...(Update April 1999) Politicians preparing for this month's national and local
elections have so far refrained from using this term to describe their opponents.

Sexual: In passionate sexual situations, it means 'do it!' and is usually attributed to the female
heterosexual partner or to the 'passive' homosexual partner.

Non-sexual: It originates from a combination of:

1. the German word 'von' which has been corrupted to 'fon' and which means 'from'
2. the Turkish word 'dip' meaning 'bottom'

As the phrase was used originally, the meaning was (and still is) "drinking a glass or bottle of
alcoholic drink to completion in one go"; to 'knock it back'; to 'chug-a-lug'.

G

Geliyorum! (gay-lee-or-um)
