One of my pet peeves is when Americans with Italian ancestry try to correct someone by telling them that "sauce" is actually called "gravy." Italian immigrants said "gravy" in the late 1800's because they thought it translated to sauce. But in Italian, there’s actually no word for "gravy." The closest translation is "sugo di carne" which means meat sauce. Calling it "gravy" not only reveals one’s disconnect from the Italian language, but also that their ancestors immigrated to the U.S. more than a century ago. So to Italian immigrants and those whose families immigrated to the U.S. after WWII, it’s cringe. Because calling sauce "gravy" is a very American thing (which is fine), but it’s an American thing that is specifically used to try to come off like it’s Italian. And that gives us second-hand embarrassment. Oh, and calamari is an Italian word. Calling it "galamad" is like calling capocollo "gabagool." Also cringe!

This woman couldn’t be more off base. The white fridge in my garage is the only fridge that is keeping my house a home.

Looks like there's more to Sydney Sweeney than meets the eye. She has an entire account (Syd's Garage on TikTok) dedicated to restoring vintage cars.

I can’t believe Theo Von just said “cocaine will turn you into a damn owl, homie, you'll be out on your own porch, you'll be your own street lamp” to a literal President of the United States 🤣

The irony here is this guy’s listing off every country on the American continents, smugly suggesting we need a 1st grade geography lesson when he’s the one who doesn’t understand that in English, "America" is used as a shorthand for "United States of America," the only nation with "America" in its official name.

In Love is Blind season 8, Virginia left Devin crying at the altar. When asked about it later, Virginia cited Devin growing up in a "conservative household" and how she got triggered when he asked if she voted with her "faith in mind" after she revealed she’s pro-abortion. WTF!

Love is Blind host Nick Lachey makes Ben explain his relationship with his church. Ben: “I didn’t remember [my church’s stance on gay marriage] because I didn’t need to know… I’m not proud of it.” Meanwhile, everyone glares at Ben as if he did something wrong. This is insane.

Mamdani has been in office for less than two months and his voters are already angry that taxes are going up for everyone, not just “the rich.” That’s because socialism considers everyone rich until they are all poor. Hey, you get what you vote for.

Nicki Minaj says being at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest is more important than any concert she's ever performed. “Because this is a direct link between young people and God.” “People who have a problem with us worshiping God… we absolutely cannot have them power.”

Throwback to when Silvio Berlusconi was on the phone instead of greeting Angela Merkel at NATO. 🤣 I miss this guy already.
