Hi, new here. Apologies for any missteps.
When I was growing up, my father had a phrase he'd say when he was particularly frustrated or exasperated at something. Phonetically, it sounds like:
Muh-go dee-ay-so dee-ah-lo
I use the phrase myself, as it became synonomous with "throwing up one's hands in frustration" for me, but dad doesn't know what it means (or it's something obscene that he won't admit to). He just knows he picked up from the "Greek kids" at school - early 60's, U.S.A., blue-collar steel mill town. (The town also had a heavy Eastern European population, so I haven't ruled out that it's actually Slovak or Croatian or something along those lines.)
Anyone have any idea what that phrase might be? I've always been curious about it. :)
