At gezbelle's request we have the ever popular Turkish word: "bokdan".

Worthless

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

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.

No. "Sacked" of course. Certainly not shit canned.

We agree then. "We have been asked to inform you that you have been sacked. Or, as they say in New England 'shit canned'. If you prefer to think of your self as sepetlandı, well, so be it. In any case, don't let the door hit you on the way out!"

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

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.

...idle talk
from the dictionary: empty talk, bunk, baloney, guff

So it's 'sacked' in England & Scotland? Nothing more colorful?
