: : Why does a lot of greek men have a long nail at their pinkyfinger?
: What is that???
: I'm from Athens born and raised there and I've never seen anything like that!!!
: I only had noticed it once to a gypsie who was selling plastic chairs!!
: So please don't generalise like that, that "many Greek men have a long nail at their pinkyfinger".
: For God's sake, it reminds me of some ignorant comments like "all Greek men are dark, fat and hairy..."
: Get a life....
Sorry, Giorgos, but you must have bad eyes, because a lot of greek men DO have a long nail on their pinky finger. I don't try to be nasty or something, it was just an honest question. I didn't generalise at all, then I would have said; all greek men! But I didn't.
I have also heard that the reason is status, I just wanted to get that confirmed, or get another reason...
