"... a linguistic monument that contains and preserves, for all eternity, all the childhood, adolescent, youthful, military, political, etc., obscenities of the beautiful Greek people."
(Kostas Stamatiou, 1983)

"... an amazing book... both in appearance and content; everything is very original, an unexplored side of Greek reality."
(Alekos Fassianos, 1983)

(Theodoros Kallifatides, 1983)

"Mary Koukoulé, but also the American folklorist G. Legman, who encouraged her to do this work and wrote the introduction to her book, emphasize the subversive nature of modern Greek obscenities, as in them the -sacred and holy- of the nation are ridiculed, especially by socially oppressed groups, such as students, soldiers, etc."
(Demosthenes Kourtovik, 1986)

"... teachers, priests, policemen, parents, political or football opponents, uncles and aunts, the ancient Greeks (here you will find the sexual Iliad in full and in different variations), various wise men and wisdoms, the nation, the homeland, the party, religion, prostitution, provincials, bourgeois, foreign languages, the sexual act in its various manifestations, hierarchy, various institutions, society as a whole, all are mocked, ridiculed, or cursed unrestrainedly but in an inventive and, why not, artistic way."
(Dimitris Fyssas, 2019)
