I have recently heard the word «hospitaliano» in a television ad for Olive Garden Restaurants in recent weeks. It's the punch-line for a spot where all these people are enjoying themselves uproariously at the Olive Garden Restaurant. It seems to be a large family, and they're loud and boisterous and having a lot of fun. «It's called hospitaliano " one of them says: Italian hospitality. This word is clearly a blend of the English word « hospitality" and the Italian word « Italiano" ("Italian").

This word is a reduplicated (rhyming) phrase. A paraphrase of it might be large excavation but the short rhymed phrase is probably catchier, and pithier. It refers to a tunnel project in Boston, Mass. From a website decrying the cost overruns of this project, it is described as follows:

The 1987 Federal Highway bill created the Big Dig, more formally known as the Massachusetts Central Artery/Third Harbor Tunnel (CA/T) project.

The Big Dig is pioneering what its bosses describe as a wholly new approach to rebuilding America's crumbling infrastructure. Call it public works with a silk shoulder to cry on. It's a costly melange of engineering, traffic management, eco-sensitivity, social work and ward-heeling that may well become standard operating procedure across the United States, where roads and bridges need hundreds of billions of dollars worth of fixing up.

"Resumania" is a term coined by Mr. Robert Half, founder of RHI Consulting's parent company,

to describe the unintentional bloopers that often appear on job candidate's resumés, job applications and cover letters. These samples come to him from colleagues and other business professionals worldwide and are compiled in an effort to highlight the importance of professionally written, well-proofed job search material. Mr. Half's column on the subject appears monthly in the National Business Employment Weekly.
