Double check the sex of the person at work before you call them "fella".



One of our neighbours named their daughter Fella. It means butterfly in
Italian. I just looked it up.


The only Italian word I know for butterfly is 'farfalla'. Plural
'farfalle', like the (butterfly-shaped) pasta. DIY-related, there is
'valvola a farfalla' = butterfly valve :-)
