porc de gaz = pork gas
Gas Schwein = gas pig

khí heo
wieprz gazu
γουρούνι αερίου = air pig
@JohnnyC
FYI
I noticed that some of these word translations in different languages are not precise, i.e. the Greek translation for instance of “gas hog” is "γουρούνι αερίου" which means "air pig" is not a factual translation, in order to achieve literal translations, it is essential to use actual words and not abbreviations, i.e. "gasoline hog" = "βενζίνη γουρούνι" which is a precise translation.
BTW Greek is my native tongue.

I speak daBoise well and frequently... I can tell what they want and they, me... Doesn't mean Chester always delivers though...
But, I'm only fluent in my own tongue... 45+ years married and Dianna still doesn't fully understand...
Well ... I am well versed with the English dialect. 
I can speak it in redneck and hillbilly, so so with coonass and I struggle with Yankee.
Heck, I even learned a some Australian the other day. I thing he said "good day"??

We are recycling and repurposing. There's something to be said for that.

Close, but using two words in this heat is SO much effort, so we turn that greeting into one. Here's s'more for yez if ya ever run inta one of us over there:
[these are literally as they roll off the tongue]
Hez it garn? [How's it going?]
Chuck a u'ey. [Do a u-turn]
F**kin'ell. [Exclamation of surprise]
S'happenin? [What's going on around here?]
Throw'us that shifter ay? [Pass me that adjustable wrench, please]
F**kin alternata sh*t itself. [I believe the problem lies in your alternator]
F**kin'ot this arvo ay. [The temperature this afternoon is most disagreeable]
Grab us a sixer'a gold at the bottle-o? [Please get me a six-pack of XXXX Gold at the bottle shop]
That slab gonna fit in your esky? Look f**kin chockers. [Your cooler is full, I'm not sure that additional carton of beer will fit]
F**kin mozzies'a drivin' me nuts! [Mosquitos. Sigh]
Have a go at the roo bar on that 75! [The bullbar on that 75 series is BIG/overkill/wild/homemade/other]
Need'a hit the servo heaps since I ditched the 2H. [Driving this 1FZ means I need to fuel up more frequently]
F**k, broke an axle. Ah well, no point whingein', she'll be right - it's a full-floater, like all our 40's down here
[I broke an axle. No point complaining, everything will work out fine - it's a full-floater and won't come out, unlike our American brethren]Don't be a sook! Harden the f**k up! [Don't be so sensitive. Act like a man!]
Pass us that stubbie? Ta. [Hand me my beer. Thanks]
F**k that five-poster off and get an early ARB bar on there. They look the biz. [Get rid of that five-post bullbar and get an early ARB bar. They look better]
Here, hold my beer. [Often precedes hospital visits due in part to a] the alcohol, and b] the fact that the people who make such statements are usually consuming said alcohol near: cliffs, water slides, 4x4's, rock walls, bodies of water, accelerants, flames and other homemade explosive devices]
Straya!

I think Ima gonna need some hip boots. You guys are a gettin it deep round here.
It's been raining cats and dogs the past few days. Enough so that the ditches, creeks, and even the rivers have started overflowing. Consequently I have avoided going out unless I really have to (firewood to keep warm is important). So, the only technical thing I've done recently has been to read about Landcruisers, and look for my hip boots.

Loaded 44 with plenty of food and water, for a week, made sure she had everything else we could need on a two day trip (or a week if we broke down).
Loaded daBoise and filled the aux tank (main tank was already full) and hit the road, to see how 44 runs with her new snorkel. We drove right at 400 miles half on pavement and half off pavement, on two-tracks. I couldn't see any difference in performance, with the snorkel, which is a good thing. It's cold out in the NV mountains. I expect summer heat to result in improved performance. So, I'm happy with the snorkel... And we look
in the great outdoors!!
Our trip took us to the Mt Irish Wilderness Area (with snow on the ground and snow on the way, so we didn't stay), the DeLamar Mountains (where we spent the night in 44), the Delamar Valley (where we "forded" the Delamar Dry Lake), the northern edge of the Kane Springs Valley and the eastern edge of the Desert National Wildlife Refuge.
There is SO much to explore in Central Nevada!! We had a great trip!!
I noticed the clutch slipping a bit on the way home and checked this morning, to find the slave cylinder return spring missing and the fork too tight to wiggle... I'll take 44 back to the engine puller/installer on Monday morning and let the warranty apply.
Here are some pics from our trip.

I bet your 2 mates enjoyed the trip
They always do!! They travel really well and make every trip fun!!
I have to tie them together because Chester (with the 2x4 in his mouth) is 1 year old and doesn't always come back, until I drive a mile or so and stop to give Gunner water... then Chester shows up for a drink and I grab him. I leash them together, so Gunner will hang onto Chester... but Chester is stronger than Gunner and poor Gunner gets dragged all over the place and worn out. What a dog's breakfast!!
You've done a great job with your 40, Rick!! Great color too!!
I got mine running. After sitting for 17 years and tinkering on it for the last 4 or 5 weekends, I was able to back it off the trailer and bomb around my buddies property for a little bit. It was a pretty good day.
