Words on Wednesday

Here at Manor Madi we call this my condo with a patio...

in reality is it a box with a lid

Anyways when the peeps see me sitting on the patio

mom will ask if I want to dine Al Fresco?

She told me that meant in the open air. 

I said WHATEVER just bring on the food woman.

Now all that being said mom got curious about the word.  Lo and behold was she surprised when she consulted my friend GiGi Google.  This is what she discovered.

The phrase al fresco is borrowed from Italian for "in the cool(air)"; however, it is not in current use in that language to refer to dining outside.  Instead Italians use the phrase fuori or all'aperto.  

Now before I finish this everybuddy sit down

In Italian, the expression al fresco usually refers to spending time in jail.  

From now on I'm gonna cut out all the fancy words.  I'll be sitting on the lid of my box waiting for my din din

to be served inside.  Or as the famous song from the 60's said sitting on my ya ya waiting for my la la.

Hugs Madi
