Malignant optimists refuse to believe that some questions are unsolvable, some diseases incurable, some disasters inevitable. They see a sign of hope in every fluctuation. They read meaning and patterns into every random occurrence, utterance, or slip. They are deceived by their own pressing need to believe in the ultimate victory of good over evil, health over sickness, order over disorder.

Get the Malignant Optimism mug.Related Words
The origin of the AE word "mulignan" is not directly linked to the italian word "melanzana" (eggplant).
"Melanzana" is the standard italian word for "eggplant" but every region and even every town in the same region has its own dialect form(s).
I wanted to go further and made a little research and here is what I found.
"Melanzana" comes from the low-latin "melangolus" or"merongolus" from the arab "bâdindgiân". It is possible to find the same name in old french "mélangène" even if the current french word for "eggplant" is "aubergine".
As you can see from these examples, all the words are similar. We can assume that the AE word "mulignan"
was imported to the US by italian immigrants coming from a southern region but nothing tells us if it was Sicily or Napoli.
I hope this helped.

Get the dingus malingus mug.Malina is the personification of a thunderstorm. From soothing droplets to wall-shaking crashes, she will make you feel it all. Lightning and all, she electrifies you with her love. But just as you’re beginning to let yourself get used to it, she’ll take it all away, leaving you cursing the sun and yearning for the clouds to come back. She’ll haunt you, leaving you only with echoes of her incessant quoting of Wuthering Heights, ancient classics such as the Iliad and the Odyssey, and random ritualistic hymns. All you’ll ever want is to be dancing with her in her museum of a room, lit by an excessive number of pillared candles, to the drum-like pattering of her icy raindrops that entrance you all over again.
Oh, and, all those villains she loves to go on about? Know that she is all of them, all at once. You can either fear her or love her for this. Tread carefully and trust wisely. She’ll tread over you to bring greatness and glory to herself.
I’m only warning you because even if I can’t be the one, I can at least help make way for you until the day that you come.

Et tu, Malina?
And I pray one prayer—I repeat it till my tongue stiffens—Malina, may you not rest as long as I am living; you said I killed you—haunt me, then! The murdered do haunt their murderers, I believe. I know that ghosts have wandered on earth. Be with me always—take any form—drive me mad!
Malina, cara mia, I forgive you.
