  • 4 in Advait is the truxter Moisture, the face dacha and dachas Opikea Pinterels Alfast Alles van versier.

  • Hey, and welcome to the Short stuff.

  • I'm Josh, and Chuck's here, and Jerry's here for Dave.

  • So that makes this an official short stuff.

  • That's right.

  • And we're going to issue a trigger warning on this one part of the story has to do with sexual assault, so we just wanted to kind of let everyone know that that's coming.

  • But ultimately, this is a story of courage and bravery.

  • Yeah.

  • So if you go down to Sicily and southern Italy and ask them what a fuotina is, they will say, we don't really do that anymore.

  • But we'll tell you what it is anyway.

  • It means sudden escape.

  • And in its most benign form, it was a way for couples who were consenting.

  • They wanted to get married, but their families were like, no, we don't approve of this union, and therefore you can't get married.

  • It was a way for them to elope.

  • All right, so the fuotina was essentially an elopement.

  • The key to the Fuotina, though, was that the couple would wait a little while, say a week, and then they would return home and their families would presume that over the course of that week, this couple had had premarital sex.

  • So when they came back, the couple was like, now you have to agree to letting us get married.

  • And in fact, it's going to be a specific type of marriage that's prescribed by law and socially, it's called the matrimonial repertory.

  • It's called a rehabilitating marriage.

  • Right?
