Concept, similar to American Exceptionalism, frequently heard in Italy, that Italian food is, beyond comparison, the very best in the world, and that the cuisine of every other country sucks to the point that it cannot be eaten without vomiting.
This phenomenon can seem further exaggerated by the religious belief of many Italians that their mother or grandmother makes absolutely the _best_ Melanzane alla Parmigiana in the world, and nobody elses can compare.
If you experience this phenomenon, just agree. To argue can put yourself in extreme danger.

"Man I made a mistake tonight: didn't really want to suggest to Gianni and Francesca that we eat Tapas, did I?"
"Oops. To Gianni that's almost as bad as suggesting there's a restaurant that can make Tiramisu as well as his Mamma! So you experienced your first Spaghetti Exceptionalism, did you?"
"Exactly! And then Helen made the mistake of suggesting that pasta every day is boring, and she fancied a Thai - didn't wanna do that!"
"Nooooooo! Thai food to an Italian? That's like suggesting that you put the first course on the same plate as the meat... Outrageous!"
"Did you ever go to Barcelona, Pinuccia?"
"Oh yes, Penelope. You have a wonderful city! I love Barca so much but I couldn't eat the food. It was disgusting! My mother had to send me food parcels every week, and by the time I came home, I was fifteen pounds thinner! I am never going there again."
"Oh no, Pinuccia! You didn't like our food?"
"It's foul, Penelope! It's sooo bad. How did you ever survive? But Italian food is the best in the world you know. And my Mamma makes the best Spaghetti con Vongole in all of Genova. Would you like to come at the weekend and try some? You will be very grateful for everything she can teach you!"

Get the jewish excellence mug.Greetings. My name is Beef, and today I would like to present an exceedingly excellent "your mother" joke. I will now begin.
Your biological mother is so morbidly obese, when she went to go get her yearly physical done, the doctor took her blood and the results concluded that she had a high blood pressure, onset type 2 diabetes, hypertension and the possibility of heart disease. She also suffers from severe depression, because she lacks confidence in her physical appearance, which enables her to consume even more food, making her more obese. Not to mention, but your mother is becoming so monstrous, she had a hard time fitting through small spaces and exceeding weight limits on practical applications. Your mother has an endless cycle of malicious eating habits that only make her health worsen over time.
I hope whoever has just read this enjoyed the humorous "your mother" joke. Thank you for your time, and have a blessed day.

Get the Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure Cheese Sandwich mug.The two words used by the administration of any given American public school to describe its success. Often overused to the point where the words "Quality" and "Excellence" lose any and all meaning. Even if the school has had actual success in the past, the staff will always fall back on "Quality and Excellence" to describe the school as a whole, failing to use any other adjective. This is often seen in underfunded public schools in the Midwest, such as Williamston High School.

Get the quality and excellence mug.An existing legal concept addressing how the attorney-client privilege essentially evaporates due to the exception that exists when a client seeks the services of an attorney for the underlying purpose of receiving the legal assistance to commit a crime.
One of the ex-Thief in Chief’s attorneys, Evan Corcoran, has been subpoenaed to testify in the federal stolen classified documents case and he will likely be compelled, thanks to the crime fraud exception, to discuss things that would have otherwise been protected by the attorney-client privilege.
