Host hedgehogs

Whilst studying in Italy I was explaining to a friend that the family I was staying with was very well-off and so I described them as sono ricci. I got a very surprised look. What I actually said was that they were hedgehogs. I should have said sono ricchi.

Editor's note: The word for rich is ricco, but when you're referring to a group of people you use the plural ricchi. In Italian, ch sounds like k. In contrast, the c in ricci sounds like Ritchie.
