LAX eh? Grew up on LI? I live out in western Suffolk myself. I notice your profile listed sports as a hobby, can't really relate there myself, what other sorts of hobbies do you have?
It's in the context of when he answers the phone in italian, but I'm not sure if he uses it with all italian calls, or just one person, but it's only ever when he answers the phone, and no, I'd rather not ask him, feels like it'd be like telling him I'm trying to eavesdrop or something :-P
You know what, I can't figure out for the life of me is he's saying some greeting, or saying hello to Joe - one of his employees, who I don't think is fluent in italian - Can you think of anything that sounds similar to ogio? :-P
He's been in the US for over 10 years now he told me, and he needs 5 years experience at a mechanics pay grade to sit for the licensing exam, so he must've been here at elast 7 years :-P People just can't understand what I say. Some days my speech seems to be less understandable to others, idk.
He speaks kinda decent English, kinda broken, but the accent just makes it a pita to understand him sometimes, and he constnatly says "I don't understand Mike what happened?" when I try to ask or tell him something XD
Alright, got a job with a Sicilian guy XD
You need to go to Sicily, learn the dialect, then come here and translate D:
Anyway, sleep now, got to speak some time :P
