I'm hoping that what you had in mind ends in α. 😁 With regards to "spirited driving", on several occasions I have come across the term "σβέλτη οδήγηση" and have gained the impression that most likely, this is what Greeks use when referring to it.

With "spicy", informal, automotive/ enthusiast slang. Twenty years ago I would have said the same for "spirited" but given the proliferation of its use by automotive journalists and its frequent appearance in automotive journals and professional reviews, I'd say that it has graduated to mildly...

The Ζοωηρός was actually my mistake and I was just owning up to it.😊

Ζωηρός. Now there's a lapsus clavis for you.🙃

I'm back.🤓 I'm fully aware of the negativity that's historically been associated with the term "spicy" and am also aware that the various negative stereotypes frequently applied to the music industry, people in advertising and marketing and even to high-performance car enthusiasts (in the...

Στα ελληνικά ίσως όχι αλλά στα αγγλικά μερικοί τις έχουμε ψωμοτύρι. Εννοώ τις λέξεις "spicy" και "spirited", όπως για παράδειγμα στις συμφράσεις παρακάτω. Spicy: ~performance ~engine ~exhaust ~cam/camshaft ~modifications ~gearbox ~tune-up ~revs ~turbo και πάει λέγοντας Spirited...

This is encountered quite commonly in various Greek dialects - a relevant case in point being χουρδή instead of χορδή* (see Wiki link below). Other examples include ου γέρος, πουλλά, αγούρασα, βούδι and countless others - too many to mention. *In the same link (below) τσιλίχουρδα is spelled...

Πάντως, για τους λάτρεις αυτοκινήτων υψηλών επιδόσεων, πρόκειται για βασική, καθημερινή ορολογία. Για αυτούς τουλάχιστον, σίγουρα κάτι σημαίνει. @Θησέα As mentioned above, all these terms comprise part of high performance car enthusiasts, basic, everyday terminology/ jargon and are typically...

A bit of trivia for the day: It actually did cross my mind but then I discovered that the model's name actually derives from the piquant cayenne pepper. Apparently it was coined by brand naming expert Manfred Gotta and chosen to represent the car's fiery nature, intense performance, and spicy...
