The "G" in "Lasagna" is silent

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Sure, but what does lasagna have to do with being silent?

[–] buycurious@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It’s a metaphor.

The “g” is silent in the pronunciation of lasagna.

This gives the meaning that “real gangsters” operate silently.

OH! Wow did I whoosh myself there. Thanks for the friendly clarification!

Except it's not really, because it changes how the N is pronounced

Gotcha, so it'd be "real g's are soft like lasagna"
