Sam, gramatically insolent
I need to vent my strong distaste for something:
When people use the term “vaca” instead of “vacation”. It’s one more goddamn syllable. My ass cheeks clench every time I hear someone say it.
Rantasaurus Says: Actually, completely true story, I know a man who says “prosciutt” when referring to the Italian ham instead of “proscuitto,” which is one extra letter.
In college, I knew a man who said, routinely: “That’s so hein it makes me wanna commit su.” The words of course, are heinous and suicide.
Stay strong, Sam! It’s a jungle out there!
Many Southern Italians drop the ending–proscuit, calzon, etc. New Yorkers often pick up those pronounciations–like on tThe Sopranos.
