Greek flag
Athens' national emblem
The Greek flag is the national flag of Greece, featuring nine horizontal stripes alternating blue and white, with a white cross on a blue square in the upper left corner.
The stripes are said to represent the nine syllables of the Greek independence motto "Freedom or Death." In sexual slang, Greek flag refers to anal sex, from the longstanding association of "Greek" with anal intercourse.
