"Desu" is the sound made by pwning. Conversely, by repeating "desu," you will have pwned your opponent(s), even if you already lost according to Godwin's Law.

Awesome Razz

Panzerotti is a kind of noodles, I think.
Burritos are wraps from Mexico and Risotto is rice with sauce and vegetables/seafood.
Smith & Simpson & House & Anderson are common names,
Desu = Japanese for (to) be I think,
Cola = Coca Cola.
