Etymology= coined by an elementary school boy
Not sure how adding information to the main page would work on Wiktionary, since I primarily edit Wikipedia, but something should be noted about how this ISN'T a run-of-the-mill Italian word, but got "coined" by an honest mistake that a first grader made. Here are several sources:
