The Classical Greek, as used by Homer, for sexual intercourse is philoteti migenai - "to mix together in love". I like that.
I have no idea how that relates to modern Greek. Anyone speak it?

(yes, I actually discovered that studying for my essay this week. Work + fics = same reading material. Can't be bad, huh?)

That's far better than anything I've learned so far ... all they teach you when you're learning a language is the basics.

(Although I did find out that the Russian for "blow job" is literally "to play the wooden flute." Not too bad, but I like yours better!)
