Italian-American Slang

[campy614]

So I know there are now a lot of Italian-American bhangra dancers who read this thread regularly, and I wanted to share something with you (and anyone who's interested).

It's a list of slang words used by Italian-Americans with each's probable Italian root. I just found it interesting, and I tried seeing just how many of these words I use (around 50%)

My friends find it funny, because when I'm pissed off I'll throw out like 10 of them in a row for no reason. Either that or start calling people "putana" left and right. Maybe now they'll understand what I'm saying (as I'm trying to understand what they're saying when they speak Punjabi... Make an even language exchange).
