Question Number One

My first dilemma with The Incidental Bologna is that word.

Bologna

First of all, I'm American. And being American, I speak American (that is to differentiate my language from speaking English, which American most definitely is not. Being a child of the fifty states, I also happen to know several commercial jingles about just this sort of thing that has a first name and a second name.

Now, being a singer, I'm hip to Italian. I am not a fluid conversationalist of the language per se, but I am a fluid speaker of whatever Italian is set before me. I might not know what it means, but I know exactly how to say it.

Bologna

What do you think?

American
Bah-LO-neee?

Italian
Bo-LO-nyah?

Just Plain Wrong
Ba-LOG-nah?

Ha!

You knew I had to do it, didn't you?
