Today’s One Big Happy, with Ruthie and Joe seeking meaningful word parts:
The kids have found /fri/, apparently the item free, in frittata, which leaves them with the mystery — but presumably meaningful — element tata. A demi-eggcorn on the hoof.

In Italian, tata means “nanny”.

True, but utterly irrelevant to what the kids are doing in the strip. In English, we have Tata Motors (of India), slang tata ‘breast’. and British slang ta-ta ‘goodbye’. Plus French slang tata ‘auntie’, and tens of thousands of other phonetically similar items in the world’s languages. None relevant to what the kids are doing in the strip.
