Also surprisingly from ancient Greece:

  • The greeting "'sup"
  • Guys wearing laurel wreaths backwards
  • Tanning salons... but they were just called lawns back then

● Anal sex

Wait, that's not surprising

Did you know the Ancient Greeks invented anal sex? It only took 200 years before the Romans decided they should try it with women.

Im not suprised tbh

Lol, it's just a little joke based on the fact that Ancient Greek had both formal and informal greetings, and 'sup is our modern equivalent of an informal greeting. It's quite a stretch, I admit.
