Scolapasti

Encyclopedia : S : SC : SCO : Scolapasti

A slang term for a colander, often used by Italian-Americans. It is derived from the Italian words "scola," which means "it drains" and "pasti" or pasta. The name is fitting since a colander is the easiest way to separate pasta from the water used to boil it. This term is not part of the Italian language and is not used in Italy or other Italian-speaking nations.
