Surtuk is used to this day. I'm not sure what the exact meaning is, but we'll say "Абе Суртук еден!" in the context of "oh you idiot!"

lol that gjuptin one was classic.. never heard that before.

[Dejan]

I've heard this one a few times:

"Бел си како цајкан"

Translation: You're as white as a policeman. I had to have this explained to me at first. At the time it was used to make fun of someone lacking a sun tan. Then i asked, why a policeman? Answer: they're always in their police uniforms and only have their arms tanned. It's a silly one that makes more sense in Macedonian. Made me laugh.

цајкан = полицаец in Bitola slang.

when wanting to wear a short skirt in my teens my mother used to say to me.......ako beshe pitchkata da se puli gospod na chelo ke si ja nosevme...

....ochite si gi barashe tamu.....when borrowed family car for my first girls night out and battery died feeling like hot shit in the purple valiant drag racing boys other side town down the highway

lele, si ja vide mechkata pitchkata i izbega.....when I expressed shock at something

lele amen be chupa ke me umrish od maka, turchinka di edna....if I so much as looked at mum the wrong way, I was branded a Turk and the death of her

Gezot mi prdi...my bum farts.....for "no big deal" and also love this one for the same thing..pitchkata mi dremi my fanny dreams

aram da ti e.....cursing dad, have no idea what it means though

zhimi gospod.......zhimi ochite.....zhimi anything when placing emphasis on anything being as totally factual, and most being idle gossip heard

lele, svinja di edna, ushte prviot den mazhoti ke te ostaj......my first cooked roast at aged 10 was burnt to a cinder whilst the parents were at glasshouses, and told my future husband would only keep me for one day as a result, being such a swine

se kurtulev, aman spolaj me na gospod se kurtulev......was saved, saved from something great...

So many weird sayings, but hilarious, cannot be translated, and the sarcasm in most of them was enough to make me feel so inferior when growing up
I found myself , horror, using similar sayings with the boys growing up....ochite si gi barashe tamu? was very often used

Another one which describes your post:-
"se skina ot smeah"

[Coolski]

my dedo says "cheshit" when something is funny. I've never understood what it literally means. Does anybody else know?

@Julie... those sayings were gold.. i cracked up laughing!!

[George S.]

The saying of aman.enough already ,stop it!.
Fala na boga.

[Coolski]

i never understood the saying "alal ti vera" does anyone know what it means? I suspect it's related to the arabic "halal" which means good/allowed (rather than haram which means bad/forbidden , eg. aramija)

Vera could be faith or the female name. My guess is... "you're good faith". It's usually said in a similar context to "thank god"

Julie,the word 'aram' is of Turkish descent,it means 'sram'-'embarrassment','shame'.So 'aram da ti e' means 'shame on you'.

Also the one that you and several others used about the bear -there's a similar one that goes 'meckata si go videla gazot i rekla: lele kolkava dupka sum imala odzadi a ne me boli'.It's often used to describe something that was always there but you failed to notice because you didn't feel it was very significant,or it can even be compared with 'you don't know what you got till it's gone'.
