Why is anything called what it is? It's a regional/cultural thing. We've been calling it that in my family for as long as I can remember. My mom's parents are off the boat and my dad's mom is 2nd generation, is that "actually" Italian enough for you?
Just curious on how that term was generated, since it's not an actual Italian thing. At least in Southern Italy, where my FIL was born and raised, and we still have a ton of family (100+ cousons, zias, zios), it's not a term. What part of Italy is your family from?
