Victoria Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 I love Billy Connolly. Watching his standup on Youtube just now, I yelped, "Hey! That's a PAM!", on yellow croc. And then I saw this: PVD PAM! On the velcro strap, I think, no?
swdivad Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 He needs a haircut. I doubt BC 'needs' anything... and with that sense of humour he could shave his ass and walk backwards and still fill a stadium
slai Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 Silly question - doesn't panerista mean feminine?
slai Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 Nope ... it means panerai aficionado ... So there's no difference between paneristi and panerista?
Victoria Posted March 17, 2008 Author Report Posted March 17, 2008 Silly question - doesn't panerista mean feminine? Not silly. Recently, I read on the gen forum, "Hello from a Paneristi living in Australia". Since the site is called that, POSSIBLY they were referring being members of the forum -- but more likely, no. They thought Paneristi is singular. -ista in Italian is an agentive ending, and it's unisex. I can use Panerista, and so can you, Slai. These suffixes derive from verbs, in this case, the art of BEING a Panerai aficionado, as Laz said. The most famous ones for foreigners are probably tied to sports -- Ferrarista, Milanista, and so on. EDIT: -isti is the plural ending. We are Paneristi, but only one person of either sex can be a Panerista. And yes, I too read that and groaned. There she goes again. Teacher, leave dem kids alone!
pete2528ca Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 in response to slai (hey, mate) and being Italian, let me explain. Paneristi means the whole bunch of them. Panerista is feminine Paneristo is male. this ends your Italian lesson for today. Tomorrow we will discuss cazzo and fregnia... ciao tutti...
Victoria Posted March 20, 2008 Author Report Posted March 20, 2008 Paneristo is male. I don't think I've ever heard that popularly. Maybe technically, yes? Ferraristo, Milanisto...ay, sounds awful. !! ROSSONERO PER SEMPRE !!
pete2528ca Posted March 20, 2008 Report Posted March 20, 2008 victoria...you aren't a rossoneri fan are you...

pete2528ca Posted March 20, 2008 Report Posted March 20, 2008 No Victoria, I am a rugby player. Don't follow footy too much. The only good thing about the RossoNeri is Gattuso, and he SHOULD be a rugby player.
Victoria Posted March 20, 2008 Author Report Posted March 20, 2008 Aha! I knew it! I'm on the phone AT THIS MOMENT with my fully-Italian speaking boyfriend. He says that's nuts. It's Panerista/Milanista/etc. for men! @Nembo: Grazie tanti! ...just to note, that's not my bf. He's an Interista.
nembo Posted March 21, 2008 Report Posted March 21, 2008 I'm on the phone AT THIS MOMENT with my fully-Italian speaking boyfriend. He says that's nuts. It's Panerista/Milanista/etc. for men!
