The greatest country in all of the Mediterranean, if not all of Europe. As stated on the other definition, Greece truly was the birthplace of Western Civilization and much of what we know today, including math, algebra, philosophy, architecture, and drama. This country has been rich with culture for thousands of years, and still is. It is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, including Balos, Myrtos, Paradise (fitting name, isn't it?), and many more. There are also cities in Greece that are famous for the excellent food and sight-seeing, like Athens and Thessaloniki. However, whether you visit a city or a beach, you're guaranteed an amazing time, and of course, wonderful night life. The Greeks know exactly how to drink, dance, and of course party well in to the wee hours of the night. The general mood here is very different from what many people in the USA are used to. Here, you stay up and sleep in very late, some times until noon during the summer. Everyone here is open minded, accepting, and friendly. Yes, we are proud, and yes, we hate the Turks. We are loud as hell and people think we're fighting when we go out. But it's okay, because we come from the greatest country GREECE and we aren't afraid to say it! EΛΛAΔΑ ΓΙΑ ΠAVTA!

Get the Greece-Land mug.Dry, hardened grease. if grease is the liquid form, then greech is the solid form of the same substance. commonly found greech forms are melted cheese left untouched and left out to dry and become greech. Look on the floor at any Pizzeria and you can find greech. Or just ask for the manager and tell him that he's got a belly full of greech and that he's a failure in life. The substance needed a name as I saw it in the bottom of an unwashed, unclean, unfit for love-making George Foreman lean, mean, fat burning grill. Also, if your name is Screech and you are really greasy, then I might call you greech. Greech can also come in the form of a zit, a scab, crusty lard or other food products like dried up cheese or crunchy fried chicken skin. Greech is awfully hard to clean. If you ever find yourself trying to scrub and clean a greechy ass pan, you might find yourself exclaiming. "Fuck, This is fucking greech!" If greech is served gourmet style then some may call it "guiche" pronounced "gweesh" The wrod Greech can also have an implied meaning, so that the person already understands what you mean because of the context that it is used in.
"what up, greech?"
"the foreman grill has a lot of greech in that tray"
person1:whats up man?
person2:you're greech!
