1. Bologna? I'm guessing.
But then, bologna (or do you say "baloney"?) can be a euphemism itself.

3. I am from Bologna
and I'm still trying to figure out what Americans mean by bolognese sauce.

We have ragu`, which is a meat sauce with very little tomato and no garlic (not that crapin a jar by the same name). Why do Americans think Italians put garlic everywhere? We don't, I assure you.
