Even my stubby holder confirms the correct term: PARMA!

Never ever will I call it a -shudder- parmi 🀒

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Fuck yeah. Parmi sounds like something a teenage boy does under his sheets in his bedroom at night.

@CEOofmyhouse56 @StudChud @melbourne Parmas, not parmis.

And while where at it...

It's a pot of beer, not a schooner.

It's a potato cake, not a scallop (?!?!).

It's a freeway, not a motorway.

They're bathers, not toggs.

The biggest city in Australia is called Melbourne, not Sydney.

And if Teddy Whitten isn't either playing or coaching, then it's not really State of Origin.

Whoa. You are from here. Home of the dim sim!

Oh and Teddy has unfortunately passed so not possible he's doing either.

@CEOofmyhouse56 @melbourne Exactly.

You can't have a real State of Origin without Teddy Whitten *glances at the NRL*

No that’s called a tease.

Pint is a pommy word for I don't give a fuck how much is in there.

I saw a menu ad at a CBD pub recently that advertised a Chicken Parmi. I shuddered. This is how to lose customers.

Parma 4 life. And potato cake.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

My personal view is that, given the spelling of parmigiana, parmi is the correct shortening of the word. But it sounds stupid. So the contraction of parma is a much better option, but should technically be written as parm'a. But that looks stupid. I blame the entire problem on the Italians, we wouldn't be having this argument at all if they just did the sensible thing and called it a schnitzel pizza.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

I'd be happy calling it a parmo. Parmi/parmy no way in hell.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Oh it’s definitely Parma, all day, everyday.

Parmi is a big no no!
