What does Forza mean?

[Brian Short]

I'm new to F1, and missed the Canadian GP (I watched the CART race
instead), but heard it was really exciting (for once) I'm seeing a lot
of people say Forza, usually in relation to them wanting to see
Schumacher win the Championship... What does it mean?

It simply means "power" or "force". In Italy a popular expression is "Forza
Ferrari" which translates something like "Ferrari power".

As an Italian, I think the best translations should be "Go for it,
Ferrari !" or "Come on, Ferrari" with my preference being towards the
former.

Hi Doug,
Forza does mean Force but in this
contest it means "Go for it!"
As in the ol'song Go! Johnny Go! Go! in
Italian it would be Forza Giovanni!
**LOL**

hope this helps

I do :) Thanks to all those who were kind enough to share their knowledge of Italian language and culture. I hope that everyone reading this is having an excellent day :)

I certainly look forward to emulating the kindness and compassion of those in this thread who were kind enough to help.

Well I've given 'you' a good run and you've not told me anything I didn't
already know or even contributed anything positive to a thread so this is
where we part ways.

Good luck in all of your endeavours.

Just another center-of-attention poseur, misfit, like bigbird, news,

are of the opinion that they own the place: ignore them.

There is something very sad about that but I think the saddest thing

Yes, I'm sure that it's all very, very sad Donald, or might it be
Misfit responding (why, out of the blue, would "Harran" reply).

But I can't imagine why you would think that I'd care about
your opinion. I think it may have been Camille Paglia (no
fan) who coined the phrase about not being able to think
oneself out of a wet paperbag, that so well aplies to you.

You can find usenet posts from me that are well over 25 years old...

This one which is famous enough to have been been plagiarized, repeated and archived in numerous places on the net isn't quite 25 years old yet, but it passed it's 24th birthday a few months ago: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.sys.mac.programmer/UkCjFPL4zEM/-lM87bJxPUcJ

[~misfit~]

Just over 20 years for me. I got my first modem in 1996 and found usenet
about a week later. Before that my computer was just for doing accounts and
wordprocessing.

The oldest direct Usenet post I have in my archives is from April 1 1992
("First carbon fiber in F1," to rec.autos.sport), but I was
participating in a number of email discussion lists through our ARPAnet
gateway nearly a decade earlier. Human-Nets@Rutgers was one such that
was mirrored on Usenet (as fa.human-nets); the fourth message here:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/fa.human-nets/pVGsZ3vcVuo/LQbuN_mgQDIJ

and the earlier message quoted immediately before (by known Usenet crazy
REM) are 34 years old.

Like I said, "Rookie!"

Mine are from the first week of this ng (discussing attending all the F1
races except South Africa in person in the late mid-1960s). And many ngs
well before that, pre rec.*, when alt.* was the only place for
non-technical discussion. Back to when everyone on the Internet was
contained in a 1/4" thick printed directory. (I still have a copy.)

And even earlier, ARPAnet, before USEnet even existed. 8;)

I'm enjoying the extreme old-timer status while I'm still alive -- and
wishing many more years to you, too!

Oddly enough, my first direct USEnet post I can find on
groups.google.com is from 2/3/92 to alt.beer. Shows you what my
priorities were back then! 8;)

About the same as they are now, to be honest...

[pltrgyst]

Bruce, you may have forgotten, but we had a similar discussion a few
years ago -- and later about rec.autos before the f1-specific group
existed. 8;) :

Hmmm -- that one links to a post from 2/11/92.

I was posting on arpanet from January 1983, as M14...@mwunix.mitre.org.
Back then we were developing broadband/baseband routers for BBN.

I still have a printed directory of everyone on the Internet when that
name first came into being -- it's about a half-inch thick. 8;)

A quick google search shows early saved posts to alt.fan.dave_barry from
7/18/91, to rec.sport.volleyball from 1/9/92, to rec.autos.sport from at
least 1/13/92, to comp.periphs.scsi from 5/17/92, and to alt.beer from
2/13/92.

LOL! I *do* admire honesty. ;-)

[Bruce Hoult]

Yes, well I came to usenet late .. I was happy with BIX for a long time (starting in mid 1986, 31 years ago).

Unfortunately, at that time internet didn't exist in New Zealand, and it was necessary to make direct international phone calls to modems in the US, or in some cases it was possible to use X25 at the princely price (never decreased, as far as I know) of about US$200 per megabye (if all your packets were 100% full ... more expensive if used interactively and your line lengths were not a multiple of 64 bytes)

Hopefully I'll manage a few more years, as I'm only 54 now.
