Well, I guess he could find the literal meaning for you.....

Dolce far niente is one of the first phrases I learned in italian, and it's kind of the Italian motto for living.

How sweet to do nothing!

It is also the title of one of my favourite paintings.

Maybe it should be the title of this avatar as well.....

Probably better to take a phrase from you than to take a phrase Sprots will likely utter when she sees it......

I could probably come up with a more suitable title if I tried. Something more, you know, romantical......

Yep, then the hat, then.....

It never occurred to me before why she employed that "you look ridiculous" campaign, but of course it all makes sense now!

If you go here, and plug in the word "scritch":

http://translation.babylon.com/english/to-italian/

No matter what language you select for translation into, it always translates as "scritch".

So that must mean it is "scritch" in ANY language.

That seems about right...
