I will never be able to take seriously someone called Mona - in venetian "mona" means "female genitalia" or "stupid". Also used is the expression "ma va in mona!" that means "elephant off"

He was thinking: I'll call it "La Gioconda!", which he did.
He was thinking that because it's a pun, meaning "the big feminine piss-take", which seems appropriate, as it appears to be a self-portrait.
There was some BS going around (allegedly invented by some moron in a university, who had to publish something to justify his salary) that said the painting was named for Lisa Giocondo, which, being BS, can be ignored.
I can't remember where the name "Mona Lisa" came from, but, AIRI, it wasn't Da Vinci.

In Fiorentine "Monna" is a diminutive of "Madonna", which translates roughly to "Madame". So it would be Madame Lisa. It is a recurring venetian joke to call it the Mona Lisa, or " 'l quadro de la mona" ("the painting of the <female genitalia="">")

Do part time parents exist? "Not now honey, mommy/daddy's having a day off."
I always thought you're a full time parent from the day your child is born. Silly me, no?

I think they mean people who do not work at a job outside the home.

WHAT? I was thinking about a virgin eating a delicious ice cream in the warm summer sun (which is hopefully coming soon) - nothing more... - hence Richard's "Yum"... Makes perfect sense...
