'rum' however is a puzzler. I can't think of any Italian names ending in M (and, for the record, my backgound is heavily weighted on the Sicilian, with some Roman and Campanese thrown in for laughter). A common suffix in the Sicilian dialect is "u", however. Santoru indeed sounds deeply Sicilian, and I can only imagine the M was added in the states to ease the transition in a foreign land.<br /><br />Now the question remains, Holy what? I cannot answer that. However, for all my friends in Pennsylvania (BTW, is that still on the license plates?) I will offer a few lessons in Italian you may apply as needed:<br /><br />culo: ass, butt<br />cha'dru': jerk<br />cazzo: prick, dick<br />cazzone: dickhead<br />cucumbre: cucumber (fool, dope)<br /><br />and my favotite<br /><br />mamaluke: utter jackass, complete idiotWill Dividehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17877416158115540051noreply@blogger.com
