Just curious about a bumper sticker I’ve been seeing a lot of lately. I can’t recall it exactly, but it consists of two words composed of Greek letters. To put it in context, they seem to appear mostly on pickup trucks that are also sporting pro-gun, pro-trump stickers and such. Does anyone know the meaning?
I’m guessing it’s ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ?
“Come and take them.”
Likely a gun nut.
Yep, that’s it. Thanks!
These are all over trucks in my area. Usually accompanied by NRA and Trump stickers, Gadsen flags in the middle of the pickup bed, lift kits, and semi tractor style exhaust pipes setup to roll coal. It’s a sure sign of a half-wit, fucking asshole. They for the most part have finally removed their “bumper nuts” (or more likely, they finally weathered enough to fall off).
I always view the sticker as a challenge. Like, OK, I will. How’d that work out for Leonidas?
Half is a much too generous fraction, from the sound of it.
The big question is who taught these rednecks Greek?
No one, which is why I want to sell a bumper sticker to them with a picture of a gun, and “μπορείς να το έχεις” underneath.
Rednecks making classical Greek references - will wonders never cease.
I want a bumper sticker with the quote from Acts 2:15.
οὐ γὰρ ὡς ὑμεῖς ὑπολαμβάνετε οὗτοι μεθύουσιν, ἔστιν γὰρ ὥρα τρίτη τῆς ἡμέρας
It was the verse chosen by the graduating class at Luther Seminary in 1980.

Can’t answer for Leonidas, but not so great for Ugartecha.
