Titolo: Urgent help with a word

Hello everybody. Does anybody know the meaning of "flyte"? I only know it's
a technical word, a machine or something like that. Please, it's very
urgent.
Thanks
S. E.


Mai sentito.
Se non conosci il contesto, devi fartelo dare dal cliente.
Almeno che non si tratti di "flight" (ma ci saresti arrivata anche tu),
probabilmente è un nome proprio/marchio di fabbrica.

Scusa, Mary (che mi ricorda molto lo "Scusa, Ameri" di 90° minuto:))
ma non č la prima volta che scrivi "almeno che" invece di "a meno che"...
Dovevo dirtelo. A meno che non te l'avessi gią detto...
Ciao

I must say I'd never heard that before. It sounds like the sort of thing
Jim Carrey might do.
I suppose the typical Anglosaxon "chiappe chiare" are sort of moonlike,
when you come to think about it.
"Moon" in British English means (roughly) "fare occhie di triglia".
I made the mistake of telling my son what "Butthead" means (after refusing
to let him watch the appalling "Beavis and Butthead", and now he keeps
using the word...

The expression is American even though I was taught it by a Londoner.
Anyway we are even . I didn't know about "FARE OCCHI DI TRIGLIA".

using the word...
BTW, what does "Beavis" mean ? and "Wacky" ?

BTW, what does "Beavis" mean ?
<<<I guess it doesn't mean anything but a dirty minded person might say
it is a manipulation of the word beaver which is usually used to name the
female genitals.
and "Wacky" ?
It means eccentric, nutty, fora de testa insomma ....

The most common UK name I can think of is "pussy", as in the James Bond
character Pussy Galore. (Galore means "a iosa".)

Nel film comico-demenziale "Una pallottola spuntata", la ex moglie di

True indeed !
U.S. Slang 1900s

I'm posting the first instalment :Letter A.
Se non ricordo male, dovrebbe esserci due sonetti apocrifi di John
Keats (in realta` di Anthony Burgess). Come e` noto Giuseppe Gioachino
Belli aveva scritto due sonetti dedicati ai due sessi. Burgess aveva
immaginato che durante il suo soggiorno a Roma, dove peraltro mori`,
Keats avesse conosciuto il Belli e ne avesse tradotto in inglese i due
famosi sonetti. Ricordo di aver letto la novella di Burgess e i due
sonetti alcuni anni fa nella terza pagina del Corriere della Sera.
