Greek To Me Puns

What a bunch of Thebes!

Lily liked Greek mythology a lot. Her favorite character was the titaness Rhea. She loved the story about her outsmarting Cronus with a stone in order to get her children back. She loved it so much in fact, that for the sake or realism, she decided to eat some rocks too for the upcoming school play she took part in! But, very soon after going onto the stage, poor Lily started convulsing on the floor. It was a poor decision to eat the stones. She knew that. But at least, she could die a Rhea.

I am so, so sorry. Please forgive me.

I can't tell, it's all Greek to me.

I was proud of myself for this one:

Son: "Dad, what is Greece?"

Me: "A country in the Mediterranean. They speak Greek there, it's the most spoken language in the world"

Wife: "what? No it's not, that's Chinese"

Me: "Yeah, that's Greek to me"

<Groans>

....he asked me if I could read it because it was all Greek to him. He was so proud of his joke I didn't have the heart to tell him I hated him for leaving me when I was 3.

It's all Greek to me.

It's all Greek to me

Really, ask me to translate any sentence into any language (except Greek). Try me!

It was all greek to me.

It’s all Greek to me.

My dad was talking about his college calculus class

Dad: "I could barely understand my calculus professor. He was always speaking Chinese"

Me: "Are you sure he was speaking Chinese or was it just all Greek to you?"

Everyone except my dad groaned. He was beaming with pride

This is directly translated from greek, but you'll get it.

Me: Hey, dad, do you have any money?

Dad: Yeah, don't worry about me.

He cracks up and searches all over the house for my mom to tell his joke.

I didn't want to admit it, but it was pretty funny. Almost forgot about the money. Almost.

He said: "I don't remember much of it... It was all Greek to me."

My family and I are going to Greek Town this weekend

Dad - "What do you normally get at Greek restaurants?"

Me - "I dunno, I look at the menu and it is all Greek to me."

Today, my dad and I went to a restaurant that we've never been to before. It mainly sells gyros and other foods of the sort. I could tell my dad was unsure of what to get, so he told me to order by saying, "You go first... This is all Greek to me."

Me: I'm heading upstairs to pack, I don't want to be rushin' around later before we head to the airport Dad: what, you'd rather be Greek?

My friends and I were eating in a restaurant where all the waiters are Greek and have heavy accents. Our waiter walked by, said something inaudible, and walked away:

Friend: What did he say?

Me: Dunno, it's all Greek to me!

many groans ensue

the mum: Yeah, it's not like melbourne there, where here you see chinese shops, indian shops, greek shops etc...there, it's all maltese

me: oh I dont know, I've found Malta to be very Malta-cultural

Noone took notice of it, but my brother looked back at me as if to say "you sly dog, you"

When teaching us spelling that you didn't pronounce the last B in Bomb. "why not Grandpa?" "It's silent, like the silent P in swimming." He got me and my younger sisters in turn.

also, he spoke fluent French and German and would claim that "I can speak every language except Greek"

"Say something in Russian."

"That's Greek to me"

Last month, I bought a book of skits from a store. I was reading a few of the skits out loud, and my mom mentioned Who's On First. My brother didn't believe it was 70 years old. Mom then said that there was a section of a Greek comedy that was very similar to Monty Python's Parrot Sketch, only with a dead slave instead of a dead parrot.

Me: "Monty Python resurrected that joke far more effectively than that guy wishes he could've resurrected the parrot."

Me and my boss were killing time last night by pretending to talk like hillbillies when I busted out this gem: Me "What is a hillbilly's favorite kind of bread?" Boss "What?" Me "Inbread"

Que moans/laughter from the Greek Gods.

I'm sitting there feeding my baby yogurt when my wife comes over and leans over the baby to give him a kiss. The baby, at this point, reaches up with his yogurt covered hand and taps my wife, putting a nice blob of yogurt on her face.

Me: You just got Yoplayed.

Wife: You did not just say that.

Me: I know, it's bad. It's actually Oikos.

Wife: Whatever, it's all Greek to me.

My sister and I were getting gyros at a local Greek place, and she made a comment about the "lamb sauce" on the rice. I pointed out that the sauce had no lamb in it, so it doesn't make sense to call it lamb sauce.

Her: "I guess you're right. I didn't call it lamb sauce because it's made of lambs. I called it that because it goes on the lamb."

Me: "So it's a criminal?"

Dad: What do you want for supper?

Me: Do we still have the Greek food?

Dad: It's not Greek, Meaghan. It's Chicken Souvlakian.

Dad: Did you hear Black Diamond moved their headquarters to the Middle East?

Me: No...what?

Dad: Yeah, and they changed their name to Cheezus of Nazareth.

Me: Are you going for a run?

Dad: Yeah. You see...I'm sexy and I know it. I work out. Now all I need is those leopard print pants.

I was going to laugh at that, but its all greek to me
