The Maleme team at the Kolymbari Carnival was sporting a slogan which said “Mana thavgo”, which taken phonetically means “Mother, I’m going out”. While intended as a play on words – as “avgo” means egg in Greek, the float featured a large papier-mâché hen with attendants in hen costumes carrying eggs – the phrase is a also a meme symbolising the concern of the archetypal Greek mother for her offspring when they announce that they are going out, e.g. for the evening. (She is also typified by another meme which says: “Mana exei mono mia” – there is only one mother.)
