I don't speak Greek; one of my jobs here is to make sure the English is gramatically correct and sounds ok. It sounds like there is a word missing in this translation. Please let me know what you think of my suggestions below. Thanks!
I wonder... "Where do you think you are going like that, you ass?"
or

| User10Number of messages: 1173 | "ass" (κόπανος, ηλίθιος) isn't the word for "σοÏÏγελο". "σοÏÏγελο" is a slang term used to call someone "ridiculous person" (because of the way s/he dresses/behaves) |

It is not the Greek original we are discussing, but the English translation

I'd say "fool". I wonder if there is a slang term in Enlgish for "ridiculous person" (with a narrower meaning). |
