mangia-cake

1. Translation: "Cake eater". A derogatory term used by blue collar Italo-Canadians used to describe commercialized middle-class [WASP]s. Italo-Canadians would view the typical daily diet of fellow WASP workers to be based on refined white flour and sugar. > Dave: "Yum! Kraft peanut butter and jam sandwiches on Wonderbread and a Coke and Twinkie" for lunch. I've been hungry since my usual double-double coffee and 3 Tim Horton's donuts from this morning. I can't wait to get home and have a Schneider's honey glazed ham and McCaines frozen cake." > Mario: "Dave. Oh. Don't be such a mangiacake. I got a mortadella, tomato and provolone on a pannino and escarole salad. Why don't you come over to my moms and try some of her pasta al forno with veal and dad's homemade sausage and wine."
