Tourette's:
That Greek thing undoubtedly stems from the casual greeting the Greeks use to each other: "Hey, malaka!".

In Greek, malaka(s) technically means wanker - but they use it very casually, and don't take it as an insult in any way. It's more like "dude", depending on the context.

I went to university with a lot of Greeks.
