Does presidential candidate Rick Santorum know his last name means something gross?

Frothy!

His last name does not mean what you think. That definition came from a talk show host who was against him and coined it as an insult. It is like saying Monica Lewinsky's name means a certain act, sure it does now, but only after the whole scandal did people coin the term a Lewinsky.

Italian

well, Stephen Colbert did a good part of a show on it. the name didn't originally mean something gross. there was a campaign to do that on the internet, that was quite successful. in any case, Santorum is most deserving.

It means many things, one of which is he, himself, and that is something to be proud of. Just try googling his political background.

Yes, I do know which meaning you are speaking of, but am amazed that you would ask this question in elections. How old did you say that you were?

It's too bad nobody asked him that question at the debate the other night.

Oh yes, he chose his earthy name before he was born. Get a grip !

I'm sure he does, but the alternate meaning came after he became a public figure as a response to his policies.

I think hes aware of that fact...
