Salento: "Cornuti", LOL. I think the way my Sicilian grandmothers (Well daughters of Sicilian immigrants) it sounded more like "Cornuto", which may be regional dialect and accent differences. As a kid, maybe by about 8 to 10, I quickly figured out the word had dual meaning. Sometimes when us grandkids were acting bad or spoiled (not ME, NOOOO), that word would be directed at them/us. Of course the other connotation was referring to a Man who lets say if I can put it diplomatically as possible, he had some issues in his household that were married related and it was not a happy one.
Was Cornuti/Cornuti used this way by your grandparents?
yes, It's a common word that everyone uses (same double meaning)
... I guess that the Spanish Frittata is an easy and quick meal to make for the ‘Unaware Spaniards’
