Chew-pit-too-las quickly, right?

I would say it sounds like Chow-pee-too-las, but I think I can hear the T at the beginning.

But I think the real Shibboleth will be Terpsichore.

Terp-sick-or-ee, but I had actually heard that one already, so that's not me puzzling it out from the word.

So that's where the software got the name from.

Capicola is the ultimate NJ shibboleth. I love it .

How? If they know the real name for gabagool, or they say gabagool instead of capicola?

Source : wife watched sopranos, went to italy and ate the gabagool with some nice "small mozarella" in a little open air fountain for second breakfast.

Side note : make sure that if you guys are trying to sleep of jet lag with a partner, go to bed at like 6-8pm and bump into the bed and wake them up at like 5am. Sex and tourism ensued with no other fucker being awake the same time as us.

EDIT :

  1. *we* went to Italy together.
  2. Sex and tourism, not sex tourism
