While it may seem that the staff of Jezebel is just a bunch of New York crones gathered in a basement chain-smoking and click-clacking onto keyboards using our painted talons, the truth is we are from different places. And as such, these regional and cultural differences can lead to lapses in communication, such as the one that took place today during a serious newsworthy discussion about ice cream trucks. As things usually do, this conversation branched out into a larger more in-depth discussion of delicious summer treats when my colleague, the brilliant Hazel Cills, used a phrase I had never heard in all my days.

One of the best summer treats, Hazel said, is a “water ice.” Now, I consider myself a worldly woman knowledgeable and sensitive to other cultures but what on earth is a water ice? Are water and ice not one and the same?The only thing I could think of that might come c lose to a water ice was a piragua, a New York City summer staple of shaved ice topped with flavored syrup—which would cover both the water and ice bases, presumably. But after we began discussing the texture of water ice, and after I took the lazy route and just googled water ice, I made an amazing discovery.

I call it what it is. Italian ice. Although my wife, a Jersey Neapolitan girl, calls it lemon ice because that's the default flavor for Italian ice. What's pictured there, according to her, is cherry lemon ice.

I'm sorry to be so harsh, The athletes going to visit at the Tokyo Olympics are selfish ogres who don't care what happens to others for their own benefit. Japanese citizens hate them very much and find them very annoying. Yes, 10,000 people who understand what a killer corona virus pandemic is. It dumbfounded me that many of our leaders and many in the 4th Estate (particularly the editors) can't understand this also.
