My partner and I call them all "noods". "Let's make noods later", "want some noods?", "these are my favorite noods".
Wait...not everyone knows this is the upper hirarchical term for them and thus says "noodles"???

Not only the amount of dairy.
For Italians, "caffè" is just espresso. Then you have "americano", which is similar to filter coffee even though it's usually made by adding warm water to an espresso.
Then you have "ristretto", which is a shorter espresso.
An americano is indeed an espresso (sometimes double shot) with added hot water. Not Italy specific though, it's just a different thing than filter coffee - but it's true that in Italy you can usually get the former but not the latter.
Some other common coffees: lungo ("long", an espresso that's extracted for longer so it's a bit more "watery"), macchiato ("stained", an espresso with a bit of milk and foam in it, kinda like an espresso version of a cappuccino), macchiatone ("big macchiato", halfway between macchiato and cappuccino), corretto ("corrected", with a tiny bit of liquor, usually grappa or sambuca)

Compared to other cuisines, Italian is trash tier; not because it's not delicious, but because it just relies on cheese, fat, meat and carbs.
"Oh wow, this pasta sauce is so good" yea, it's made of cream, cheese and bacon, how was it going to taste, healthy?
Compare that to french cuisine where they put a bird inside the bladder of a livestock animal with wine and a billion native herbs, and steam it in that for 40 hours, where you actually have to have skill to make a culinary tradition.
Although Joël Robuchon can fuck off with his 50% butter 50% potato mashed patatos. No shit it tastes better than at home you prick, you might as well just put butter on a plate.
Ah yes, cream and bacon, true staples of genuine Italian cuisine

Thinking any pasta besides spaghetti is spaghetti requires some major mental gymnastics
Bucatini and linguine are pretty similar tbf

Pasta, yes. Spaghetti, no.

Which category do you place bucatini in?
Is there a larger hole bucatini? I'm thinking I could use them for "environmental" straws.

See, I would call all those macaroni, that's the coverall for tube-shaped fork-sized pasta. Spaghetti are the long rounds. Linguine flats. And then all the big guys get their own names, manicotti, ravioli, and just stuffed shells, they probably got a band that ends in a vowel but it didn't make its way down to me from Grandma.

I’m sorry but if you call gnocchi spaghetti, you’re an idiot.

This plus all the different Italian names for coffee which, as far as I can tell, are mostly just describing the amount of dairy added.
Just having bought an espresso machine and reading the coffee types listed...
Holy shit this is true, it's like eight types that only vary but dairy or even just the amount of "micro foam" on top.

Nope, never even heard them called that. Must be a regional things.

Good trolling!
I'm not even Italian and even I find this infuriating.
Like, call it pasta if you don't know the name is. Even my wife knows that spaghetti is a specific type of pasta and not the general name.
And she might forget the specific names of the Italian kind but you can be sure she is a stickler for specifics when it comes to the Chinese noodles! -

Yeah, empty spaghetti, flat spaghetti... you could also add the thick spaghetti : spaghettoni.

Chocolate flavored hummus is actually pretty great. Makes a great dessert dip.
Came in to say this. Bean chocolate!

Well, if the coffee was in different shapes, they would give them all sorts of different names too, even if its the same thing across the board.

Starbucks already did it. They welcome all to order their more than 20 oz Venti, their medium Grande or their small Tall. Just don't pretend words have logical meanings while you drink your $10 burnt coffee.
