Pav masthi

Πιζινες/ πιζινες Μάν ( obviously business/ business man. The way it’s used has cultural connotations about how traditional Cypriots of my parents generation valued education in terms of how it helped you to transact business for material gain rather than valuing intellect)

Eg ´Ρε τόσα γραμματα που έμαθες τσάι εν ξερεις τιποτε. Eν εισαι πιζινες μαν.'

Φακκλαν ροουτ/ Falkland road (a street in harringay). I’d leave it to your imagination to work out how people saw humour in the Cypriot pronunciation)
