Tunny fish (Score:1)

by jmcnamara (659)

When I first went to Italy I took Italian lessons from a Romanian woman. One day a word came up that she couldn't explain in Italian or English. We looked it up and the translation was the evocative "The slaughter of the tunny fish".

Strangely, google shows a few matches for this phrase [google.com].

  Really only one match [cyberitalian.com] for the phrase [google.com]. You need to use quotes.

    I was aware that there was only one exact match. :-)
    
    I posted the unquoted search because there are several other close matches such as "slaughter of tunny-fish" and "tunny-fish slaughter".
