Slang USED Frequently BY Everybody
(meatball) • Keftes in greek language means meatball (plural keftedes). It’s a funny and not so offensive way to call someone overweighted and maybe shy or coward. I think we use it because of the round shape of the meatballs!
“Με αυτό το φόρεμα είμαι σαν κεφτές" “Μην είσαι κεφτές, μίλησε της"
"With this dress I look like a meatball” “Don’t be a metball! Go and talk to her!”
