Why is it that when one is speaking gibberish & is totally incomprehensible, we say that person is speaking Greek? I researched the phrase (just to be clear if I'd dream it up) & found out that I was totally correct (which when it comes to obscure English words & phrases — I rarely am!) & found that to "speak Greek" is a tongue-in-cheek expression to mean you don't speak the same language or are not on the same wavelength as the other person. Poor Greeks — to be singled out of all nationalities for such a phrase. My internet research also found that to "speak Greek"—in sex lingo, means you are willing to "use the backdoor" aka anal sex. Woow! The silly things one can glean from the Internet. Again, poor, poor Greeks.
