We all sing a cappella in our shower rooms; we’ve all eaten al fresco, ordered a pizza from our favorite pizzeria, ordered broccoli, spaghetti, cappuccino, and the strongest shot of espresso thereafter. If you are not a foodie like I am, you probably love algebra, and if math is not your thing either, at least you’ve heard of influenza, pellagra, or at some point had a medico book you for malaria. Yes, you can cheat your luogo nativo (birthplace) by saying a few Italian words like it’s your madrelingua (mother tongue). More often than not, we utter these Italian words without even paying tribute to their origin. Italian is sweet, unquestionably sweet, and perhaps that’s why propaganda is also sweet to the ear. You have probably heard of one “Lupe Fiasco”, the American rapper; the word “fiasco” doesn’t imply anything closer to “smart”, “witty”, or “genius”, but it made it to his name. How else would you explain that? It only gets us back to where we started—Italian is sweet. And here are words in Italian that are just the sweetest!

oesophagus and stomach

nice word can be so nasty!
