意味
To know something by heart.
文化的背景
The term 'παπαγαλία' (parroting) is the negative side of 'απέξω.' It refers to students who memorize without understanding, a common critique of the Greek school system. At 'bouzoukia' (Greek nightclubs), it is a point of pride for fans to know all the lyrics 'απέξω' and sing along with the artist for hours. Many older Greeks know long prayers and psalms 'απέξω' from attending church services since childhood, even if they cannot read the archaic Greek of the texts. With the rise of smartphones, Greeks often lament that they no longer know any phone numbers 'απέξω,' whereas in the 90s, everyone knew dozens.
Use it for confidence
Saying 'Το ξέρω απέξω' makes you sound very fluent and confident in your knowledge.
Don't over-rely on it
In academic settings, emphasize that you 'understand' (καταλαβαίνω) as well as 'know by heart' (ξέρω απέξω).

The 'Inside Out' version
Use 'απέξω κι ανακατωτά' when you want to impress someone with how well you've studied.
The Parroting Trap
Be aware that 'παπαγαλία' is a sensitive topic in Greek education; don't use it to describe your own studying if you want to sound like a serious student.
