My step-dad is Croation and I believe it just means Croatian (as in the language). The country is pronounced Hrvastska, I think. But cussing in Croatian sounds really intense. There was one phrase in particular that, directly translated, meant 'Go back to your mother's hole'...it had a lot of consonates. Nate, String Theory On Mar 5, 2005, at 2:47 PM, Technotica.com wrote:
