Gabrielle Euvino Biography & Facts

Italian profanity (bestemmia, pl. bestemmie, when referred to religious topics; parolaccia, pl. parolacce, when not) are profanities that are blasphemous or inflammatory in the Italian language. The Italian language is a language with a large set of inflammatory terms and phrases, almost all of which originate from the several dialects and languages of Italy, such as the Tuscan dialect, which had a very strong influence in modern standard Italian, and is widely known to be based on Florentine language. Several of these words have cognates in other Romance languages, such as Portuguese, Spanish, Romanian, and French. Profanities differ from region to region, but a number of them are diffused enough to be more closely associated to the Italian language, and are featured in all the more popular Italian dictionaries. List of profanities in the Italian language accidenti [attʃiˈdɛnti]: literally "accidents"; used in the same context of English "damn", either as an exclamation of something gone wrong, or to wish harm (accidents) on someone (ex. "accidenti a lui", which can be translated as "damn him"). arrapare: sexually arouse someone. arrapato: aroused sexually arrapante: something or someone that arouses sexually, sexy arrapamento or arrapatura: sexual arousal baldracca (pl. baldracche) [balˈdrakka]: whore. bastardo (pl. bastardi): bastard. bazzotto/barzotto of the penis: partially erect bocchino (pl. bocchini [bokˈkiːno]: blowjob. cagare/cacare (cacare is usually more used in Southern Italy. See Regional varieties of the Italian language): To shit, to defecate. More rarely used to express "not giving a fuck" (about someone, usually with a negative verb): "A scuola nessuno mi caga" ("At school, nobody gives a fuck about me"). Cognate with Spanish and Portuguese cagar, ultimately from Latin cacare. cagata/cacata: Bullshit, crap. Vai a cagare/cacare: fuck you, fuck off. cappella: the glans of the penis. scappellare: to lower the foreskin to uncover the glans. cazzo (pl. cazzi [ˈkattso]: literally dick, cock, prick. Used in countless expressions to express a variety of emotions, like anger, frustration, or surprise in a similar way in which "fuck" and "fucking" are used in English. cazzo: fuck/shit/hell. che cazzo: what the hell/fuck. che cazzo fai: what the fuck are you doing. cazzata: bullshit. cazzo in culo: cock up your ass. testa di cazzo: dick-head. incazzarsi: to get pissed off; "incazzato nero": really pissed off. incazzatura: rage, anger. incazzoso: someone who gets angry easily. cazzeggiare: to fuck around. cazzeggio: the act of fucking around. cazzone (lit. 'big dick'): stupid and foolish person. cazzuto: very smart and tough person, badass. scazzare: this word has many meanings: to annoy, bore, irritate someone, to fight with someone, to make somebody angry, to talk bullshit and to make mistakes. scazzato: bored or angry person. scazzo: difficult situation, boredom or fight, quarrel. coglione (pl. coglioni) [koʎˈʎoːne]: a vulgar version of testicle; when referring to a person, it usually means idiot, berk, twit, fool. In addition, it can be used in several phrases, such as: avere i coglioni (literally, "to have testicles" that is, to be very courageous); "avere i coglioni girati" (literally, "to have twisted testicles"), which means to be angry/in a bad mood; or "essere coglione" ("to be a jerk or fool"). Note that when said to a close friend ("ma quanto sei coglione"), the word is not really offensive. coglione was also featured in worldwide news when used by ex Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, referring to those who would not vote for him during the 2006 Italian election campaign. It derives from Latin coleo (pl. coleones), and is thus cognate to the Spanish cojones and Portuguese colhões. coglionata: speech or action of a stupid person. coglionaggine or coglioneria: behavior or action of a stupid person, fuckwittery. coglionare: to make fun of someone, to deride. coglionatura or coglionella: mockery, derision. coglionatore: a person who make fun of someone, mocker. coglionatorio: mocking, derisive. scoglionare: to annoy, to irritate someone. scoglionato: annoyed, irritated person. scoglionatura or scoglionamento: boredom, irritation. rincoglionire: to make someone stupid or to become stupid. rincoglionito: person who has become stupid or who is acting stupid. rincoglionimento: the action and the result of becoming stupid. rompicoglioni or scassacoglioni: unbearable and irritating person, pain in the ass. cornuto (pl. cornuti) [korˈnuːto]: cuckold, literally "horned"—referring to a male whose female partner is cheating on him (or vice versa). Occasionally, it might be coupled with the corna when saying that. In Southern Italy, it is considered a rough insult. culo (pl. culi) [ˈkuːlo]: rough name for "buttocks", comparable to the English word ass or arse. It can also mean luck, as in "era tutto culo" ("it was all luck"). The popular expression "avere una faccia da culo" ("to have an ass-like face") indicates a cheeky, brazen-faced person. In some regions of the South, "stare sul/in culo" is used as a variant of "stare sul cazzo," both indicating dislike for someone else. It derives from Latin culus. In Northern Italy, may also translate as "faggot", see entries below: culattone (pl. culattoni): faggot. inculare: to sodomize or (figurative) to cheat. "Inculare" can also be used for thieving, e.g. "Un tamarro dietro l'angolo voleva incularmi la Vespa" = "A boor behind the corner wanted to steal my Vespa". In Northern Italy the reflexive form "incularsi" (lit. "to sodomize oneself") may be used to tell someone to "go fuck themself". ditalino (pl. ditalini): (lit. 'small thimble') fingering, female masturbation. sditalinare: to stimulate the female genitalia with fingers, to fingerfuck. fava (pl. fave): (lit. 'fava bean'); dick; common in Tuscany. fica or figa (pl. fiche or fighe) [ˈfiːka] [ˈfiːga]: pussy. In past times, it was also the name of an obscene gesture called gesto delle fiche. It also means sexy, hot, and attractive if referring to a woman (or a man when saying figo) Contrary to popular belief, figa is not necessarily an offensive term. If referring to a guy (figo), it means someone really cool, a stud, someone "who always knows how to get pussy." Figo may also mean someone really skilled in doing something. When referring to a woman, the term strafiga means "smoking hot". The derived term figata means something cool. A less common synonym, mainly used in Rome and Naples respectively, is fregna and fessa. (even if fessa, m. fesso, can simply mean pussy, but also stupid girl) finocchio (pl. finocchi) [fiˈnɔkkjo]: (lit. 'fennel') a male homosexual; faggot; poof. A suggestive and very popular hypothesis suggests it may derive from the age of the Holy Inquisition in the Papal State, when fennel seeds would be thrown on homosexuals executed by burning at the stake—in order to mitigate the stench of burned flesh.
