Calabrian
Person from Calabria, the southern-most region or the toe of Italy. People from Calabria typically have dark brown or black hair that is very thick, have fair to olive skin, and have green or brown eyes. Although these features or traits can be seen as stereotypes towards Calabrians and /or Sicilians and other southern Italians, they actually true in most cases. Such variations in complexion, hair color, and eye color are due to invasions, attacks, and settling of the Greeks, Arabs, Etruscans, Africans, and other tribes/peoples in southern Italy.
Joe: That kid Vincenzo's family is from Calabria and hes really hairy, but hes so pale! Shouldn't he be olive complected or have tan skin since he's Calabrian?
Lou: Not all Calabrians are darker skinned and hairy Lou. There were many invasions and settlings in Italy from light-skinned peoples and tribes, and dark-skinned peoples/tribes, which means different skin colors, eye colors, and just in general varied traits. Do some research pal. And by the way, that kid Cenzo looks Spanish in the summer he gets so tan.

Word of the Day on July 19, 2026
Fleg
The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.
The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.
The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.
