It's all 'pasta' in my house. Including the spaghetti.
And it's correct, all spaghetti are pasta, but not all pasta is spaghetti
Sgaphetti
Thinking any pasta besides spaghetti is spaghetti requires some major mental gymnastics
Bucatini and linguine are pretty similar tbf
Yeah, empty spaghetti, flat spaghetti... you could also add the thick spaghetti : spaghettoni.
My wife calls them "noods"(nudes). "Can you grab the pool noods? We're having sketti tonight."
Growing up, my dad would always pronounce it "pasketti", and he'd elaborate by saying "I can't pronounce spaghetti, so I have to say pasketti"
Pasta, yes. Spaghetti, no.
This plus all the different Italian names for coffee which, as far as I can tell, are mostly just describing the amount of dairy added.
Not only the amount of dairy.
For Italians, "caffè" is just espresso. Then you have "americano", which is similar to filter coffee even though it's usually made by adding warm water to an espresso.
Then you have "ristretto", which is a shorter espresso.
An americano is indeed an espresso (sometimes double shot) with added hot water. Not Italy specific though, it's just a different thing than filter coffee - but it's true that in Italy you can usually get the former but not the latter.
Some other common coffees: lungo ("long", an espresso that's extracted for longer so it's a bit more "watery"), macchiato ("stained", an espresso with a bit of milk and foam in it, kinda like an espresso version of a cappuccino), macchiatone ("big macchiato", halfway between macchiato and cappuccino), corretto ("corrected", with a tiny bit of liquor, usually grappa or sambuca)
Just having bought an espresso machine and reading the coffee types listed...
Holy shit this is true, it's like eight types that only vary but dairy or even just the amount of "micro foam" on top.

Gnocchis isn't pastas it's potatos
Its even older than pasta here in europe
And pierogies?
I at least split it into categories like Spaghetti and Macaroni.
Which category do you place bucatini in?
Spaghetti. Once cooked and with sauce and protein most people might not even notice the difference.
Oh I definitely notice. When I try to suck up the buccatini like it's spaghetti it'll make some disguting mouth noises and I'm left with full lungs and half a mouthful of pasta dangling out of my mouth.
Is there a larger hole bucatini? I'm thinking I could use them for "environmental" straws.
And what's a Farfalle? Or is this a cheeky sex joke?
You can put it into the macaroni category or call it Bowtie. If you wanted to give me a harder one then Lasagna would have been a good choice.
definitely not macaroni, there's no hole in it
farfalle are the type species for the "there for chew, not to hold sauce" category

Fun fact: the original neapolitan name for spaghetti was maccheroni.
both sides of the original meme are wrong, cmvI’m sorry but if you call gnocchi spaghetti, you’re an idiot.
Spagoots
My partner and I call them all "noods". "Let's make noods later", "want some noods?", "these are my favorite noods".
