      Also you're right, we might be split on the issue of sparkling water, but we're una faccia una razza, and we should team up to defeat the real enemies: the burgers and the krauts.

          Una faccia una razza was originally invented by Italian fascists to invade Greece, but for many years now in Greece it is used semi ironically as an endearing term to describe closeness (mostly cultural) between Greeks and Italians.

          BTW some Greek people don't know where it comes from and some Italians don't know how Greeks use it so when Greek people bring it up the Italians just look at them weird and confused and then the Greeks also get confused and it becomes awkward.
