Another word that's not in my Greek-English dictionary - I came across it in a sentence in a blog that I was reading today...
'όσο για το άγχος άστα γι' αυτό είπα ΣΗΜΕΡΑ να διακτινιστώ που είμαι σε νιρβάνα χαράς και δεν καταλαβαίνω τίποτα.'
'όσο για το άγχος άστα γι' αυτό είπα ΣΗΜΕΡΑ να διακτινιστώ που είμαι σε νιρβάνα χαράς και δεν καταλαβαίνω τίποτα.'

teleport myself, beam myself to some place
It's from the translation of the catchphrase in Star Trek, "Beam me up" (beam = ακτίνα) used for teleporting someone with the use of the Transporter.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transporter_(Star_Trek)
A transporter is a fictional teleportation machine used in the Star Trek universe. Transporters convert a person or object into an energy pattern (a process called dematerialization), then "beam" it to a target, where it is reconverted into matter (rematerialization).
