it's like when ppl are having SO much fun that they don't care of destroying everything in the room cause everything else seem meaningless when it comes party time.
But you can see it also in more melacholic situation (i mean when a man for e.g. after breaking up with his girlfriend, is dancing to get it out of his chest).
YASOU means hello in greek -more specifically 'to your health' we also use something similar when we make a toast.
OPA is more like a ..sound that gives courage to the dancers or the rest of the ppl so they can continue to party on, or whatever they are doing at the time.We also use it instead of 'halt' in greek slang.
@Endevide yasou is the equivalent of the hebrew l'chaim, its "stin ygeia sou" which means to your health as you said but it comes at sounding like yasou which means hello.
@kingsammythecat Ummm... I do not make common mistakes when it comes to greek language. "Υassou" (2nd person singular) the "hello" wish, and "yassou", or "yamas" (1st person plural), the drinking wish, are derived from the exact same phrase: "Health to you/us" (Υγεία σε σένα/εμάς)
Greek culture is quite strong in Israel, a lot of Israelis like Greek music and some Greek foods. Most Israelis = friendly people, people have wrong ideas about them.
I just can't stand that accent of anyone who' strying to say yasssssssssssssssouuuoo. It's Greek, guys, not Chinese! Two syllables, simple as that, ya - sou! Don't strain yourselves! Enjoy Greece!
I suppose we should be grateful to the Israelis. While the Lebanese are slaughtered, all we have to put up with are regurgitated ethnic stereotypes in a tedious Israeli TV ad. Oh, and the anti-Hellenic festival of Hanukkah.

I suppose we should be grateful to the Israelis. While the Lebanese are slaughtered, all we have to put up with are regurgitated ethnic stereotypes in a tedious Israeli TV ad. Oh, and the anti-Hellenic festival of Hanukkah.

Galdichka,
We have Chanuka because the ancient Greeks put an idol in our temple.
There were stereotypes used in this. But, were any of them negative?
