Sciatica Row
The lowest two drawers of an office file cabinet. Pronounced "sigh-AT-ih-kah..."; comes from the fact that the constant bending to file or pull items is likely to induce an attack of sciatica.
Oh, G-d, look at all the cases I have to file,and they're all T's, U's, V's and W's, in Sciatica Row!

Serra
This folk dance from the Pontic Greeks takes credit for being The Most Difficult Greek Dance In the World! Pontos is a region in the extreme northeastern part of Turkey, on the border with Adjaria in the Georgian Republic. Pontic dances are usually characterized by a very martial feeling and trembling movements in the hands, shoulders, and the upper part of the torso, and small, close-to-the-ground movements of the feet. The music for most Pontic Greek dances is usually played on a small, bottle-shaped fiddle called "lyra" or "kementze", or on a small bagpipe called "tulum", with or without "daouli" (hand drum) accompaniment. Most Pontic Greeks have settled in Greek Macedonia, due to oppression by Turks during the rule of the Ottoman Empire.
