On: The Airline Industry's Meltdown

I don't know, if you tell native English speakers that "cazzo" is Italian, I assume they know it's pronounced catso. Of course if they find cazzo in the wild without context it'll be like the zz in "buzzard".

But then again, some people may think pizza is American and not make the link.

You could be right. My experience is mostly from the New England area, near areas with a lot of first-third generation Italian immigrants.

Chicago here, with family from central Michigan. I'm pretty sure no other country wants to take credit for at least some American pizza.

Chicago-style pizza is my absolute favorite*

* I've heard great things about pizza in Rome, but I've never been there.
