A scientific study to get to the root of ALL THIS.
If blindfolded would you be able to tell the difference between noodles and spaghetti?

I have to say this whole "it's all noodles" thing is bizarre to me.

Should pool noodles be renamed "pool spaghetti" because they're firm and hold their shape better?  |

from this day forward, aimlessly dicking around will no longer be called "noodling" around.
it won't be called "spaghetti-ing" around either. we're still working on it. please stand by.

What fresh fucking madness is this?
Pasta is pasta. I don't go into a Japanese restaurant and go, "I'll have the pasta please" in the same way that I don't go into an Italian and go, "Oi! Guiseppe! Noodles mate!"

silly lads.
Pasta is the italian name for the unleavened basic dough, usually but not always made from durum wheat, from which all those shapes, from sheets to vermicelli, are made, and is widely used in many but not all Anglophone countries as a generic term for anything made from pasta, whether freshly made and soft, or dried. So spaghetti 'is' pasta.
Noodles is a word derived from German and used in many but not all Anglophone countries to refer to various preparations made from unleavened milled grains (including various forms of wheat as well as rice, and sometimes incorporating other ingredients such as eggs) that are then formed into strings or strips for cooking, and used either fresh or dried, and also used as a generic word for any dish containing or based on the use of noodles. So spaghetti 'is' noodles, although as spaghetti is an Italian word, it is usually called pasta.
You're all just squabbling about words, not things. It's like quarreling over whether courgettes, baby marrows or zucchini are different plants, just because different people call them different things, or whether coriander or cilantro, or aubergines or eggplants, are somehow exalted or diminished by having different names.
For the love of dog, get a fucking grip.
There's far more important things going on in the world, like my toothache
