Hot Takes Discussion

[Bewaffnete Krafte]

Why are local pizza places in media (also occasionally IRL, like my local pizza place) always just named, like, an italian name, occasionally accompanied by a "big" or "little" before it?
Like, "Big Tony's", "Little Guisseppe's", "Bellissimo's"
What's the deal with that?

Hmm, the pizza places in my general area:

University House of Pizza
Revere House of Pizza
Tremont House of Pizza
Boston House of Pizza
Nick's Place II
Little Steve's Pizza
Rizzo's Pizza

And each and every one of them are freakin' delicious.

Rizzo's counts, Little Steve's and Nick's Place sorta do, though they aren't italian names. Still, my point stands. I guess they are kinda popular IRL too, I have one near me, but I could have sworn they were a more mediatized type.

Here in Boston, "House of Pizza" is very common, because most pizza places here are not Italian, they are Greek, and so that House of Pizza is a Greek pizza thing here.

Nick's Place is the greekest of greeks, they are literally immigrants from there and are incredibly kind.

I've personally seen more pizzerias named after an Italian-sounding word than of names.

I see. Honestly forgot that pizza isn't just an italian thing, lol.

Never seen one like that, at least not that I remember.

Lol, yeah. Greek pizza is significantly more popular here than Italian pizza - don't ask me the difference, to me it all tastes good.

There's this Greek place here that's popular. The food Is good, but I don't recall a pizza being on the menu.

Got an example?

Entourage.

It's <AWN-TOOR-AWJ> not <EN-TOOR-IJ> you dumb English speaker! I will smack you in the face with a baguette until you learn the French pronunciation! /s

That is quite possibly the most French threat ever.

Wait, Do people say En-Toor-Ij? I have NEVER heard that. Me (and everyone i've met) says Awn-Toor-Awj.
Though I guess my pronunciation is closer to Awn-Tur-Awj, but still.

Neither have I.

Maybe I spend too much time on the right side of the internet but i've seen very little of either. Certaintly no anti-Protestantism.

Do a YouTube search for “Protestant” and then do a YouTube search for “Catholic”

Still gonna eat it.

Breakfast sausage is way better than bacon anyways.

No.

No.

I actually agree with Free Kathen. Bacon is so easy to mess up, i'm not even sure if it's possible to do it "right" for me. I don't like soggy bacon, but I also don't like burnt, crispy bacon. Even when it's the best bacon i've had, it still never compares to a good breakfast sausage drizzled in maple syrup. I love it.

I found dozens of videos on the protestant reformation and on what protesants believe, then one video (By a catholic) that could be considered anti-protestantism.
The third video I found searching "catholic" subjectively showed negative stigma to catholics. IDK if it's just me but at the very least there's little of either, and at the most there's more anti-catholicism.

Yah cause the Protestants got the Evangelicals nd the Mormons and the JW and the Young Earth Creationists and the... While the Catholics just have pedophiles, which the Protestants also have.

GIF is pronounced "Jif", like the peanut butter. Reasons include:

1) The creator says it's that way.

2) The pronunciation of the letters in the acronym in accordance to their words does not matter. If that were true, then JPEG would be pronounced "JPHEG", since the P stands for photographic.

3) I think it's funnier that way. "Gif" sounds so much more boring than "Jif" imo.

1: Languages don't work by how the creator says it does. Languages work by popular use.

2: A rule for one does not mean a rule for all. Just because pronunciation doesn't follow the words in one thing doesn't mean it doesn't follow it in all. Also, "PH" in photographic makes the F sound, Not just "P", so it wouldn't be pronounced "JFEG"

3: I think they sound equally boring, lol

Took a couple of reads to understand, my six brain cells read that as "some people might pronounce it as 'JFEG'"

I’m going to pronounce it “Gif” until I die.
