Multi Medium: A Question For My Italian-Speaking Readers (If Any)

Saturday, September 02, 2006

So... is "sprezzatura" the Italian word for "sock puppet"?

(I know, I'm probably not the first to ask, but I've been traveling...)

spork_incident said...: I wondered about that; Athenae used it over at Escaton.

My Italian-English dictionary says "broken" or "pants."

(I'm not kidding.)

Your're not the first to ask; I was. But I had no joy.

According to the shadowy and mysterious Codename V, "pants" is used as a pejorative adjective in England, meaning roughly "sucky" or "lame".

Jesus, don't any of you people know how to google?

You had it all written up and ready to hit Publish, didn't you...
