It is NOT the equivalent to "ready or not here I come". It's what the rest of the players say when they make it to the "home base" without being spotted by the "boss" in hide 'n' seek.
Now, here's what it means literally:
Φτου (Ftou) is what Greeks say when they want to imitate the sound of spitting. Just like "boom" is for explosions, and "bang" for gunfire, well we use "ftou" for spitting.
Ξελευτερία (Xelefteria) = Ελευθερία (Eleftheria) means freedom
So Φτου και Ξελευτερία means: (spit) ..and freedom!
The equivalent to "ready or not, here I come" is "Φτου και βγαίνω" meaning "(spit) ..and I'm out" (stop counting).
