Re: Whatcha Eatin'?
Italian Americans tend to cut the vowels off a lot of words and some things are just...odd...like "cavatelli" (a certain shape of pasta) is "gabadeel" and "capicola" (a lunch meat) is "gabagool". This is mainly among those with roots in southern Italy.sigpic
Can you hear me, Major Tom? I think I love you.

I grew up in country Victoria, surrounded by country people who actually use Aussie slang in everyday conversation. City people often don't know all the slang, or try to say that we don't really talk like that... but country people do! Torey had a hard time adjusting to the language... I still have to translate sometimes, like when he met my biological dad for the first time earlier this year.

We have some odd food slangs too... snag, sanga, grog, dog's eye (best eaten with dead horse), bickie, spuds, savs, little boys, bum nuts, googs... then some not odd ones like pav, chockies, lollies... not to mention all the non-food slangs.

It also gets confusing when you grew up using local indigenous words casually in your own speaking, then you go out of your area and still use them.ThorSon's milkshake brings all the PF girls to the yard - Volcaniclastic
RIP
I have never been across the way
Seen the desert and the birds
You cut your hair short
Like a shush to an insult
The world had been yelling
Since the day you were born
Revolting with anger
While it smiled like it was cute
That everything was shit.

Re: Whatcha Eatin'?
Do you always clarify bologwhatsit, or is assuming that spaghetti always comes with meat sauce just an american thing?Trust is knowing someone or something well enough to have a good idea of their motivations and character, for good or for ill. People often say trust when they mean faith.
