意味

Acting confused or crazy.

文化的背景

The pear tree was historically avoided at night because it was believed to be a meeting place for 'veštice' (witches). Using 'pao s Marsa' is often preferred by younger generations in urban areas like Belgrade, while 'pao s kruške' remains a timeless classic across all ages. In villages, idioms involving nature and fruit are much more common and carry more weight in daily speech. Serbians are very direct. While this idiom is 'rude' in a formal sense, among friends, it is a sign of closeness and 'opuštenost' (relaxedness).
