"bro don't worry they'll be a kanokari moment and it won't happen yet"

Kalokairinos

**Kalokairinos** *(noun)*
A slang term used by Greeks in Greece and some Greek diaspora to describe a Greek-American (or diaspora Greek) who visits Greece during the summer, suddenly acts overly “authentically Greek,” and then returns to America continuing the exaggerated behavior. The term is usually teasing or mildly mocking, implying that the person identifies strongly with Greece culturally while not actually participating in everyday Greek life — such as voting in Greece, serving in the military, paying taxes there, or dealing with the country’s day-to-day realities. The people who live in Greece temporarily tolerate them.

A common sign of a *kalokairinos* is returning from Greece and immediately trying to prove they are “more Greek” than other Greek-Americans — often by correcting accents, overusing Greek slang, talking about “how things are done in Greece,” or acting culturally superior despite sometimes being less connected to actual Greek language, history, or everyday life than the people they are criticizing. Added qualifier is if he starts smoking and/or carries a koboloi.

Derived from the Greek word *kalokairi* (καλοκαίρι), meaning “summer.”

**Female form:** *Kalokairini* (Καλοκαιρινή)*.*

Bro came back from three weeks in Greece wearing tight black shirts, calling everyone ‘re malaka,’ blasting bouzoukia in his BMW, and acting like a manga. Now he’s telling every other Greek-American they’re not ‘real Greeks.’ Total kalokairinos.
