Re (Exclamation) (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Re, bre, mor (with many variants) is an interjection common to Cypriot Greek, the languages of the Balkans, Turkish, and Venetian, with its "locus... more in the Greek world than elsewhere." It is used in colloquial speech to gain someone's attention, add emphasis, insult, or express surprise or astonishment, like the Spanish che. It is ultimately derived from the vocative of the Greek adjective (foolish, stupid), related to Greek (baby), and origin of the English noun moron.
