in the song "give it a name" they say the word "amantillado" does anyone know what that means, if you want to see it in a sentence look it up in the lyrics page of this site. thanks

check this out. i've never heard of the word amantillado but i've heard of the word AMANTE. which means "one with a lover or mistress".

I'm guessing it came from the Edgar Allen Poe story "The Cask of Amantillado", and Amantillado is a kind of liquor... If you want, I can tell you what happens in the story, but it's an awesome read, that would be one sucky ass way to die... I'll spoil it if you want, I mean, it's 200 years old or something

Alrighty, heh... in "The Cask of Amantillado", this guy tries to hide these Amantillado (wine) kegs that he stole from some rich guy (I'm not 100% sure of this, since it's been 5 years since I read it, but the rest I'm sure of)... The guy ends up in the Catacombs (it takes place in Italy), trying to hide the kegs, and finds a hole in the catacombs to hide them... he was so pleased with himself that he broke open one of the kegs and drank himself drunk and passed out... when he woke up, someone had sealed in the hole with bricks, and the guy was trapped inside... grusome story, but it's Edgar Allen Poe, so I guess that's par for the course.
