Italian word for "friend", or "close friend", also the name of ALOT of tacky Italian restaraunts in the US. Often when the word is pronounced by an Italian man, you will not hear the 'o' (oohhh) sound at the end of the word. It will sound like Piesan "Pie - zan".

Correct usage and pronounciation of "Piesano".
You must say "Piesano"! (Pie-ZAN !!!!)
Say it Loud or with alot of passion. If you do not, other Italians will be confused, and not hear you clearly.
Much like the high pitch that only a dog would hear, Italians only hear Loud. Not pitch specific...just LOUD.
You may also choose hand movement when referencing Piesano. This is not necessary but will get your message across much quicker to other Italians.
Hey 'Piesano', have a second helping of my mama's ravioli !
or
That guy thinks he is my 'Piesano', but he can 'Va Fa Cuno' !

(1) a word that really does exist, and the dude that said it didn't was incredibly wrong. He also needs to kick "Billy William's" ass or whoever the hell says paesano in the south, because I can tell that Billy Williams is not Italian at all and is a southern wannabe that should come to the Italian part of the Bronx or South Philly sometime to get his ass kicked.
Paesano is a real word, assholes. You live in the fuckin south and have no idea what you are talking about.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
