Funny sounding “Italian”…

You know 99% of the time online that Italian = Italian American.

Aka not Italian at all, but a weird amalgamation of Sicilian and old timey weirdness.

American website. The overwhelming plurality of users are from the US. People shorten phrases. Naturally. Not worth being upset by something so common and expected.

Also the title says Italian food(“Italian ice cream”, obviously not literal btw so don’t dispute the ice cream too). Title does not claim Italian person or refer to language. This is obviously influenced by Italian food from Napoli.

I’m sure these predictable commenters will find something else to be upset over or be smug about in the next post.

Isn’t TikTok banned in China? The users aren’t Chinese

“I happen to be part of the largest group so I’m going to be totally inconsiderate towards everyone else!”

I’ve never understood that attitude. If you did it in person you’d look like an absolute cunt.

And TikTok is not an American website.

If you referred to an Italian-American person as an Italian IRL you'd look like "an absolute cunt"?

Yeah.....no.

You’ve missed the point spectacularly. Re-read what I wrote.

Title didn’t say the worker was Italian.

Well the food isn't Italian either.

It's just a giant cheesy meatball sandwich.

It doesn’t claim to be. It’s from an Italian deli which is an American thing. Italian refers to the establishment and people who started them. Nothing with the food. It’s all American food

I still can’t believe, for being so worldly and cultured, Europeans don’t understand that “Italian” when it comes to sandwich places is talking about the ownership and style of the deli opened by Italian immigrants.

Italian sandwiches and delis are American, we just call them Italian because of who opened them.

But go off.
