Sorta interesting. I did a Babelfish translation of "Castagana". It's an Italian word that means...

[Bucky]

"Guckert"

I wish I spoke German so I could figure out what Guckert means.

[LetsGoMurphys]

1. "Can't stand ya" n/t

[lies and propaganda]

2. I think it means gannon.

or possibly gosch ;)

3. is this long the line of "naive" isn't in the dictionary?

Funny if it is.

4. Guckert is not a German word -

Gucken is a vernacular Southern German word for "staring" or "looking"-
Gannon is not German either, and there is no vernacular version of that one

For the sheer hell of it, I still want to live long enough to find out whom he visited in the White House on all those overnights.

5. Gannon is an Irish name

he has disgraced the name. Isn't Guckert close to Pickle in German? My friends from Heidelberg used to say Guckamal (sp?)...look at that. In Nurnberg they used the verb Schawen. Schaw mal.

6. LOL

:rofl:

7. Castagana is probably more like Castagna

... which is Italian for "Chestnut".

A popular name for villages and people of northern Italy who relied on chestnuts as one of their food sources.
