Get this. There's a longtime Dallas County Commissioner who is black named John Wiley price. He's a real cafone. This past Tuesday while the Commissioner's Court was in session during the public comment agenda a guy called Price a Mullah, referring to a Muslim minister. Price thought (no, I don't think he did) he said Mulie.

Now, for those of you who aren't Italian, the Italian word for eggplant is melanzana (pronounced moo-len-yawn). It's also a word used by Italians to refer to black people. A short verison of melanzana is mulie. So, Price must have been familiar with mulie because he erupted and said "All of you white people, go to hell."

What's also interesting is that growing up in Pittsburgh, I never heard the shortened version - mulie. How about you New Yorkers? Did you use mulie? I always said melanzna.
