What does the Greek word ‘malaka’ mean?

The word “malaka” is a Greek slang term used to describe somebody who is mischievous, especially somebody who has a malicious streak in them. It’s often used as an insult for this reason. “Malaka” is derived from the Turkish word “malaikat”, which translates as angels – lending to the idea that someone acting angelic one minute can be really mean and hurtful the next (i.e. plotting mischief or spreading rumours). That being said, it does not appear to have anything explicitly rude about it so much as an indirect way of saying you’ve messed around or ‘shenanighed’ people in some way.
