O.K.Turnbull, "patino" come to the verb "Patinar" (to skate- I skate). In spanish lengauge is "El Padrino". I speak the catalan a north-east lengauge of Spain. We are six millions of people who speak catalan. In my lengauge Godfather is "El Padrí" and Godmother "La Padrina" like in Italy. Our culture is very similar than the Italian culture. By the way the phrase "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse" in catalan is "Li vaig a fer un oferiment que no podrà rebutjar"
I'm sorry for my english.
