Default Unique <Makedonski> words-the apotheosis of stupidity

Some days ago the members of makfrauds started a thread with <unique Macedonian words> .Off course all these words that they present as <unique Macedonian> have Bulgarian,Serbian or Turk etymology.I noticed also some Greek words which they claimed as <unique Macedonian> :
Spolajti < Eis polla eti .(A well known medieval Greek greeting phrase that means literal: May you live many years.I think it's used by other Balkan peoples as well.Eis=).
mastika - bubble gum <modern Greek masticha<ancient Greek mastiche.
