The other day I walked into a paint store to pick up some color swatches, and when I spotted this sign taped onto the counter in front of the Benjamin Moore display, I had to snap a photo. I can only imagine the event(s) that led to them posting this notice!
I took the photo below in Greensboro, North Carolina. "Gnam gnam" means "yum yum!" in Italian. If you add an "m" to the last syllable of "lasagna," you will be close to the correct pronunciation of "gnam" (and if at the same time as you say it, you touch your forefinger to your cheek and twist your hand back and forth, you will look Italian!).
But I don't know, to me the words "gnam gnam" look more Indian than Italian, and yet "gelato" is obviously Italian; I wonder if the name has caused some confusion among the locals?
