Rig*t! I'm also curious what a Turkish speaker has to say about it's use. I remember it as a common word; used more often than English speakers would use B S.

I can't comment on that. More like a one word response to something said. "Palavra."

disingenuous
from the dictionary: samimi olmayan, kurnaz, iki yüzlü, gizli maksadı olan.

Oh nice. Thank you Metehan. "Two faced". Not sincere, or genuine. A person of concealed intention.

Palavra is much more layered in meaning than I understood it to be.

Yalniz 'stream of consciousness'. Two Turkish words/phrases of interest to me, that's all. I'll stop here if you like.
