But this is an expression you use in the states right? I wouldn't want to go about and say that on Facebook and they misinterpret and kick me out.
If I had a facebook account.

It's a daily phrase in Greece.

Our rules don't cover miss-information (unless you were to class it as trolling) so Sappy (and anyone else) is safe on that front. Besides, it's not like the information's going unchallenged.
As for hanging by your lips - I guess that could happen if you tried to snog a ski lift. Of course, that would beg the question of why you would want to snog a ski lift but we're not here to judge as long as the ski lift gives it's consent.

Metaphor, it's called metaphor and we are known to use it from the beginning of time but apparently some terms are completely of, even if they are shown as valid on search engines. Well, I hope they come out more as entertaining than confusing.
P..S Actually I'm not 100% sure it's a metaphor of it falls into a wider "figure of speech" range.Hmm...

It would be valid if we wanted to "Englishize" it. But it's "from" , or at an alternation "by" but not "on".
https://translate.google.com/?sl=el&...5&op=translate
Using "on" will do the opposite effect and make it non meaningful in Greek.
I guess we are caught in a trans continental expression sphere.Creeeepyyyyy...

No 3rd dose needed for now according to study with a few exceptions.

Edit I have no link but just saw on the news that Moderna said that the vaccine wears heavily off over time. They do that to get you to do the third dose. Money money money. Since I have no link I don't applause to that yet, so, yenom yenom yenom.

Re: [RESOLVED] Corona virus, China major city lockdowns, etc.
From what I'm hearing the Jury's still out on the third (booster) shot. They think it's likely to be beneficial but it's as yet unproven and, if it is beneficial, they don't really know how much. Under those circumstances, hedging your bets by getting a booster seems a sensible course of action.
Mind you, my personal gut feeling is that we'd likely do a lot better shipping those shots out to poorer countries which haven't been able to get enough shots yet. Failure to do that just risks incubating another escape variant.

No thanks. We still have 10-15 million surplus doses from the previous fiasco.
I think that the dictator is already pushing those that will soon expire to other nearby countries. That is unethical but I guess that is not a word in their vocabulary, although it's a Greek word, comes from ithos (ethos) .

The word "ethics" is derived from the Greek word ethos (character), and from the Latin word mores (customs). Together, they combine to define how individuals choose to interact with one another.

On the surface that might seem to make some sense... until you realize that it doesn't.
One of the first nasty mutants arose in the U.K., and most of the spread of Delta globally came through the U.K.
Denying 3rd doses to Americans to give them away to the 3rd world just screams globalism. Those days are over.
I'd be all for declaring costs have been recaptured already though, and both lowering the price closer to real production and packaging costs and ramping up production so there are more doses to go around. There is no reason to punish people in poorer countries, and we've already compensated Big Pharma for development costs. I don't see why we should keep spending tax dollars to reward them just to make it available elsewhere - which is what you have suggested.

We're going to, one way or another. The cost per dose is far higher in the US as opposed to developing countries. Therefore, they would be much happier selling third doses to Americans than selling to the developing world.
Still, globalization is not dead, as the virus has shown: A bad idea can spread around the world at record speed. Good ideas are slower.

That's a little off. First there is no latin, if you talk about mores, that is somewhat different and only apply to customs that is a portion of what ethic is.
The work comes from ethos that means ordinary residence place,habit,character and custom.
So the word ethic-y is mentioned in the place where there man exists and in extent it's relationship with other human, god and it's esoteric character.
Ethic started becoming a subject of philosophical thought in the age of Socrates. At that time philosophy was trying to give meaning in nature, among the main subjects of Greek philosophers was virtue,just,common law and covi...errr bliss .Socrates however turned the philosophical thought of that age in maters that concerned man and society and was the fist philosopher doing so.

You could use the animated state-by-state history map here:

It also offers a 14-day forecast.
The figures seem to match other sources much better than the CDC's published numbers, for whatever reason.

Re: [RESOLVED] Corona virus, China major city lockdowns, etc.
One of the first nasty mutants arose in the U.K.
I think you're referring to the Alpha strain and it was pre-vaccines.
most of the spread of Delta globally came through the U.K.
I don't think that's quite correct. It originated in India and hit the UK because of our close historic ties to India - there was alot of travel back and forth between the two nations. I don't think I've seen anything that it incubated significantly further in the UK. Quite the opposite, in fact. Our Delta infection and transmission rates were fairly high but they have been much lower that, for example, the US, due to our better vaccination rates.
That misses the point, though. The objective isn't to prevent escape variants from spreading - once a variant has achieved escape capacity it is, by definition, too late. The objective is to prevent escape variants from evolving in the first place.
Denying 3rd doses to Americans to give them away to the 3rd world just screams globalism.
The pandemic's global. Your political preferences have already been removed from the equation.

It's not only death with vaccines but serious sideffects on young people.

Girl in coma after vaccine

https://www.zougla.gr/greece/article...meta-to-pfizer
Boy cannot walk after the vaccine
https://www.makthes.gr/ekane-to-emvo...patisei-440969
Boy dead after vaccine on my root place Arcadia
https://www.protothema.gr/greece/art...mvoliasmo-tou/
These are 3 cases on one week. Should I keep posting cases every week? No because it's macabre.
So don't vaccinate young children.
And one I saw in US:

Funny google would not show any results so I had to go to other engines.

Re: [RESOLVED] Corona virus, China major city lockdowns, etc.
I looked at the third link...for reasons that are weird, but basically came down to the fact that I didn't want to watch a video and missed the fact that the second link wasn't a video.
That ended up being translated (it's an amazing world we live in), and he made a telling point: If it was the vaccine, why aren't there other cases with similar symptoms? Millions of J&J jabs given and ONE results in this type of problem? At that point, there are actually more likely causes of the disease than the vaccine itself. For one thing, hospitals tend to have some pretty interesting bugs. Another could have been the jab itself. And there's a third, which the doctors suggested, as well, though it amounts to a medical shrug: It's psychological, not neurological.
Frankly, if you spend any time looking, you'll find that the human mind can produce some truly amazing results in the body. That's pretty well known, and relatively common when compared to the alternative proposed.
