Re: Nautikos "forda"
Maybe I remembered it wrong. You're right about forza = force. That's the way he put it, force, action, all runnin' and gunnin.' He did say the other word loosely translated means fraud...

I think I shall pass on Ronnie's book, even if some day I decide to write a novel, LOL. BTW, 'forza' is just the Italian for 'force' (Italians shout "Forza Italia" when they watch their national soccer team play, LOL), but 'forda' is just an empty word he made up and filled with his own stuff...
