If you are from the NY metro area, I’m sure you know Rosanna Scotto, news anchor on Fox Channel 5 or from one of the morning news shows when she appears with her family who own an Italian restaurant in the City. Well, if you don’t know her, perhaps you saw her last night during The Daily Show’s Moment of Zen:
WHAT?! Wow. I’ve got to say, I was stunned. And then I couldn’t stop laughing.
Soy Jizzum? Um, we definitely should not call it that. Especially since I am drinking soy, um, milk these days. I used to hate it. A lot. But when we ran out of milk recently, I gave it another go. Turns out Lil Lemon* likes it. Not sure I like it enough to drink a glass of it. But in cereal or a smoothe, it’s quite nice.
But back to Scotto. Does she know what jizzum means? Or did she overhear one of her kids using this word and just thought, Hey, it’s young and hip, and I’m young and hip, so I’m going to go for it? We may never know. But this sort of thing isn’t new to Fox Channel 5 anchors. Remember this one?:
Oh, Ernie Anastos.
*As you can see, I am trying out some new names. Lemon makes me laugh every time. Besides being a delicious fruit that I LOVE in almost any genre of food, drink, or cleaning product, and a silly sounding word (right now, call out to the other room – Lemon! If it doesn’t make you laugh or, at the very least, smile, something is wrong with you), it reminds me of Liz Lemon from 30 Rock. I am also using Fernando from time to time. Lil Nando. And no, we’re no where close to agreeing on a name. I might have to just name this kid after the first person who visits me in the hosptial. Yup, it’s a contest!
Obviously I think you should name the little one Molly, so if you could outline the rules of said contest (first person to visit pre or post baby?, does immediate family count, etc.), I’d be much appreciative.
