Calzone

/kal-ZOHN/  n.
  1. 1. A folded pizza of significant heft and curvature, typically stuffed with a variety of cheeses, meats, and vegetables. Often encountered in Italian eateries where its silhouette challenges the confines of any standard plate.
  2. 2. slang. A thiccc conqueror of hunger, known for its dumpling-like structure that packs a punch in every bite. Back it up slowly, it’s not here to negotiate portion sizes.
In a sentence:

"A thiccc calzone arrived at the table and the table braced for impact. The mozzarella overflowed like an afterthought."

Etymology:

From Italian calzone, meaning 'trouser leg', a nod to its pocket-like structure. Historically, no actual trousers were harmed.

Filed by

Eliza HartwellStaff Writer

Filed because the etymology said 'trouser leg' and the object immediately proved the trousers were load-bearing.
