2:

a Greek word used to describe a jubilant emotion of/during 'celebration'.

Examples:
"hooray!"
"He-- yeah!"
"Yeehaw!"
"Come on, be a man, take another shot of Ouzo... OPA!"


Diane and I went out and tried this little Greek Restaurant called OPA! tonight We were going to try the ZinBurger place at River and Campbell, but it was much too crowded, so we gave this joint a shot. I wouldn't have thought of it, but we saw it as we drove down Campbell.

It is a Greek place, I am not a Greek food aficionado, but I found the atmosphere pleasant, the food tasty and the staff helpful. Many of the people there seemed to be regulars, which to me is a good sign.

The lowlight of the dinner was when they brought out our flaming cheese appetizer. It was good, but they didn't warn us that the flaming cheese would draw the attention of the entire place and everyone would shout "OPA!" as it was served. Oh well, it was kinda fun.

We also grabbed a Starbucks and cruised the bookstore, which is fun for us until we realize that we probably aren't going to buy any of the books there and really don't have time to read any of them at the store. At that point, it just makes your back hurt and we went back home.

Opa!
