It is a way of saying “don’t worry” … no matter what has happened you are still alive\, … “don’t be harsh on yourself\,” there’s another minute and another day ahead of you to right what’s wrong\, … and we are here together to make sure of this. …( So\, as an example when someone accidentally drops and breaks something\, no matter how valuable\, we yell: Oooooopa !!! … kind of “It’s ok\,” … everything can be mended if your mind is healthy and still open to music\, dance\, mezedes\, and wine !!) \n– Opa – Not just a word\, but a lifestyle….. In a way\, the word Opa has undergone the same type of transformation as that of the name “Zorba”. Nikos Kazantzakis’ character and the movie that was made from his book have become synonymous with a love of life and the triumph of the human spirit – yet both the original book and the movie surprise modern readers and viewers with the darkness of many of the episodes depicted. \nYet to hear the word “Zorba” we just think of the expression of joy and triumph over sadness- just as Opa! has come to mean something similarly bright and positive http://www.huffingtonpost.com/alex-pattakos/opa-its-a-lifestyle-part-_b_849106.html\n– Opa – (Greek expression) – (Wikipedia) Opa! (Greek: Ώπα)\, is a common Greek verbal emotional expression used frequently during celebrations or dancing in Greece.
