mangiacake 

Translation: "Cake eater". A derogatory term used by blue collar Italo-Canadians used to describe commercialized middle-class WASPs. Italo-Canadians would view the typical daily diet of fellow WASP workers to be based on refined white flour and sugar.
Dave: "Yum! Kraft peanut butter and jam sandwiches on Wonderbread and a Coke and Twinkie" for lunch. I've been hungry since my usual double-double coffee and 3 Tim Horton's donuts from this morning. I can't wait to get home and have a Schneider's honey glazed ham and McCaines frozen cake."
Mario: "Dave. Oh. Don't be such a mangiacake. I got a mortadella, tomato and provolone on a pannino and escarole salad. Why don't you come over to my moms and try some of her pasta al forno with veal and dad's homemade sausage and wine."

mangiacake 

Coined by Italian-Canadians during the height of Italian immigrated to Canada. Translation to English is "cake eater". There are a few opinions of the direct origin. When Italians first settled into predominantly WASP neighborhoods around Toronto, they were often welcomed by these people of Anglo-Saxon decent with cake (i.e. pound cake). The perception by Italian-Canadians at this point was that Canadians eat a lot of cake, hence the term mangiacake.
Maria: These Canadians, always eat cake.
Vince: Yah, they are what we a call "mangiacake"

Reasons for an Italian-Canadian to call someone a mangiacake:

If you use butter to cook, versus extra virgin olive oil, then you are a mangiacake.

If your pasta sauce is from a jar branded as Ragu, Prego, etc, then you are a mangiacake.

If you pronounce Bruschetta as "broo-sh-edda", you are a mangiacake.

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
