I don't need no stinkin' study to tell me Greeks are just plain LOUDWill be surrounded by them tomorrow for Greek Easter
Will be wearing earplugs
A Greek will eat like a horse and then think he is polite because he left one last piece of Feta cheese for others.
PS: The wife and 100% of her family are 100% Greek so don't try to tell me I'm wrong

or does that refer to bungholing?
No one laughed louder than the Greeks sitting next to me in the audience. I saw the movie three times and then bought a VHS tape of it too..

It may be a little presumptious if you were to assume that characteristics that may apply within the US would automatically outweigh any other cultural characteristics elsewhere, either in Greece itself or of Greek communities in other countries throughout the globe?...

It is perhaps surprising that, when your wife sought a life-partner, she chose someone of such obviously reserved, intelligently considered, and calmly perceptive qualities as yourself...
Bill.PS: One of my friends at school was a lad of strong Greek cultural heritage, and neither he, his family, nor other folk of Greek heritage I have met have displayed the characteristics you suggest as typical for that culture...
Other Greeks challenge them:
"So you're really not 100% Greek are you?"

...that claimed they were the loudest. I was called to his home one time because of a domestic dispute with his wife (Irish descent). I arrived to hear him tell the officer "of course we're loud, we're Italians, you know, opera singers, big lungs..." Loud families can be so much fun, to visit at any rate.
......I am thinking of some people around here who very much display the characteristics suggested.I will say no more…
