Description: "Ziveli, ali u otmenom drustvu :)" “Ebi ga” is a legendary quote from the Yugoslav comedy series Žikina Dinastija (“Žika’s Dynasty”). In one scene, a German woman named Elza moves to Belgrade for love and keeps hearing people say “ebi ga” on the streets. Curious, she asks her boyfriend Žika — a charming but mischievous Yugoslav — what it means. Not wanting to admit it’s basically the local version of “ah, f*ck it,” Žika awkwardly tells her it’s “something people say in elegant circles… like cheers.” And that’s where the disaster begins. Later, during a classy dinner with sophisticated family friends, Elza happily raises her glass and proudly says: “Ebi ga!", while everyone at the table nearly dies inside. Pure comedy!
Description: Sto mu gromova is a popular exclamation in Serbo-Croatian that literally translates to "A hundred thunders!". It is used exactly like the English expressions "Holy smokes!". It was famously popularised in the Balkan translations of the classic Italian Zagor comic books, where it was the signature catchphrase of the eccentric character Chico. Today, it is used affectionately as a mild, somewhat cartoonish way to express surprise, astonishment, or minor frustration.
