"Mary Koukoule, as well as the American folklorist G. Legman, who encouraged her to do this work and wrote the introduction to her book, underline the subversive character of modern Greek vulgarities, as in them the -sacred and holy- of the nation are ridiculed, and moreover by socially oppressed groups, such as students, soldiers, etc."
(Dimitris Kurtovik, 1986)

"... teachers, priests, police officers, parents, politicians or football opponents, uncles and aunts, the ancient Greeks (here you will find the complete and in different variations the sexual Iliad), various wise men and women, the nation, the homeland, the party, religion, prostitution, villagers, the upper class, foreign languages, the act of love in its various manifestations, hierarchy, various institutions, society as a whole, everything is mocked, ridiculed, or cursed endlessly but in a creative and, why not, artistic way."
(Dimitris Fyssas, 2019)
