The Archive Of Gary Mangiacopra

Gary was a highly respected luminary in the Fortean community. Not sure about that translation!
 
Is this for real? The name means eat-shit, doesn't it? :dunno:
Cropo in Latin means feces and is derived from the Greek Kopros.. In italian it is escrementi ,merda or feci.
Eating in Italian is Mangiare
Copra means Cover in italian.
It is very difficult for me to recognize the expression you mention in Italian.
 
I withdraw the slur, though I was not able to find a biography of the chap. His "reclusive nature" led me to wonder if it was all an in-joke or leg-pull of some kind.

I see there is such a surname and maybe no one in Italy bats an eyelid! Mea culpa! My turn to eat it. :bdown:
