rigolo is one of my favourite frenchy words!

it is a good word, especially when applied to a very american milieu.

(it's good to know blount that despite your complaints on the "make me laugh" thread about the horribleness of ile you are still doing your best to make it a special place)

my most vivid associations with "rigolo" come from a screening of "american pie" I went to one gloomy day in paris; there was one ticket left and I was squeezed in between hordes of screaming french teenagers. seemed like rigolo appeared in the subtitles more often than any other word!
