Για τα δίιοι πλανήτες / δίιοι εξωπλανήτες υπάρχουν μερικά ευρήματα. Ευρήματα για τα υπερδίιοι/ υποδίιοι...ανύπαρκτα...

Υπάρχει το δίιος. Οπότε, Δίιοι πλανήτες.

I wish I'd found this earlier βιόλα1, η ουσ. [<ιταλ. viola]...-βαράω την ίδια βιόλα, βλ. φρ. βαράω το ίδιο βιολί.* (Λαϊκό τραγούδι: βαράνε τα κορίτσια την ίδια πάντα βιόλα και βρίσκουνε τ’ αγόρια τους και πίνουνε απ’ όλα)· (Obviously, I don't listen to rebetika all that much.)...

Yes. It was remiss of me not to mention that this was also a possibility.

Οι προτάσεις του ΕΛΕΤΟ για υιοθέτηση των όρων “δρόνος” και “ανεπάνδρωτο αεροσκάφος” 07/04/2025 Σάββας Δ. Βλάσσης Στις ημέρες μας, η διάδοση των μη επανδρωμέων συστημάτων κάθε είδους και κατηγορίας, είναι τεράστια και οι αναφορές σε αυτά είναι καθημερινή σε μεγάλο ποσοστό του πληθυσμού. Αυτό που...

Not really. It would make as much sense as "it stimulates/excites my devil" does.

Haven't come across this one before, although it could be a play on "βαράτε βιολιτζήδες"* which is used when someone is showing complete indifference to something. *Incidentally, there's a thread here at Lexilogia on the topic, and although it makes for heavy reading, it's quite insightful.

There's the figure of speech (although some may take it literally) "μπήκε ο διάβολος μέσα του/της", which I suppose could be used in the above case, although more commonly it's used when someone has committed a violent or heinous act.

Antipas is obviously annoyed at something and needs to let off some steam but if he had said "δεν μας χέζεις" it would've been directly offensive to the butcher. By saying "δεν μας χέζει" he's directed the comment to the chicken, thus making it less offensive.

Yes. Or that something could be reasonably deduced or inferred upon the disclosure of a specific piece of information.

In regard to the πώς/πως conundrum, given that the saying appears to be a variation of the similar «πες μου ποιος σε έδειρε να σου πω πόσες έφαγες», I'd be more inclined to go with the accented «πώς».

Loinal pleasure

Even though many would argue that ΜΗΛΝΕΓ is definitely "with it", Theseus, strictly speaking, "αξίζει με το παραπάνω" simply means, as you mention, "it's more than worth it". On a humorous side note, when I type your username, my autocorrect changes it to "The stud" :cool:
