ArchivesAn "inside joke" for ol' Nick?
in reply to a message by Nanaea
In Greek the uppercase spelling for "chops" and "little children" is identical: PAIDAKIA (chops has an umlaut in its first i in lowercase). This has given fodder for cheap wordplay to esurient restaurant-goers since time imemorial :P

I didn't realize "time immemorial" or "the limit of legal memory" was a legalistic concept in Greece, too. So you had punsters in Greece before September 3, 1189? Cool.
