          NOT EVEN CLOSE!!!

          ...Though, I HAVE pointed so that the person on the other end of the phone understands better.

          Philo dough? Please. No self-respecting Armenian would use pre-made philo dough. If you can't do it from scratch, it's not worth doing. *gets all haughty about this*

          Shouldn't ALL pics of Mt. Ararat be displayed prominently? I mean, you wouldn't hang the Flag in the bathroom... The GARAGE?!!!

                    2. You frequently use expressions like "oaf, eeh, and eyaah."
                    When I was little I did used to say something in Armenian whenever I was surprised (learned from my grandma). I'm not sure about the spelling...it was something like "ama meha"...btw, what does that mean??? (I hope it isn't a bad word...lol) - Edit: I just did search and it seems that the meaning of meha has something to do with "urine"...ew...is that right??? I can't believe my grandma taught me that...


                    17. You shovel food on other people's plates when they aren'tlooking
                    Yep...but I don't do it anymore...hehehe I remember all the spinach and collard greens my brother ate for me...nowadays I do the opposite, I steal food from ppls plate...specially if it's a sweet dish...
