HelpRe: Which names are considered tacky or trashy in your country/area? (more)
in reply to a message by Tuesday
The Salvatore's in my family are Italian though. My dad is the only one of his siblings that came over.
Still, I grew up with the Italian American culture in the U.S. (NY) and know exactly what you mean. Very aggressive pride in Italy, and most of them have never even been to Italy.
My dad's best friend has parents from Italy and uses a very exaggerated Italian accent. All.the.time.
My own dad is from Sicily and when he was a kid, people still actually spoke Sicilian. He still does and whenever we visit Italy people can't help but grin while he is speaking. Apparently it makes him sound "country" or something.
