[Repetition for an easier indexing:] "GIAO ANGELO" (written as it is here, in all-caps and misspelled with a "G" from the correct "CIAO" standing for "hello") is the equivalent of the "Goodnight Sweet Prince" meme [mostly used for a sarcastic or sardonic farewell to something or someone - ex: for the friendfeed shutdown "GIAO Friendfeed GIAO ANGELO"] (from:http://www.frenf.it/early... )

"Giao" by itself is "Ciao" but written as pronounced by snob, high status classes, rich peoples, radical chic elites, pompous personalities. By itself alone it could be used self-ironically or satirically, to greet others within threads, pretending to be a snobbier eccentric person. Along with "GIAO ANGELO" could be a prolongation of the sarcastic farewell, showing no signs of quitting... ex "My laptop with all my project is burnt" "GIAO PROJECT GIAO ANGELO" "GIAO JOB GIAO ANGELO" and the rest of people going on commenting with "GIAO ANGELO" "Giao" ... ect. ---- The complete construct "GIAO *something* GIAO ANGELO..." could also include the "...impara agli angeli a *doing something related*" but is a much more complex constructions. It literally means "Goodbye *something* , Goodbye Angel, teach the Angels *to do something related*" Same Example "my laptop exploded" "Giao Laptop Giao Angelo" -as before- "...insegna agli angeli a fare il backup incrementale" - "...teach the angels to take incremental backups" - bezdomnyj82 - -

The hashtag #piastrelle (italian for “tiles”) tags the release of photos of private parts, nudities or boobs. It comes from a primary photo posted by an italian user showing her boobs with kitchen tiles on the background. Often it is used in an ironical way to tag photos of people suspected to post a selfie to collect compliments and positive comments (see also “bellachesei” http://www.frenf.it/early... )

Sharjah! hhttps://s-media-cache-ak0... This meme is spreading today. Don't worry we aren't suddenly becoming ISIS supporters all together. It all started when an user started a thread that was like "Auto-correct: when changing AHAHAH with SHARJAH you are doing it wrong..." and then everyone justr started commenting "sharjah!" on everything instead of LOL.

"Fare la punta al cazzo" (literally "sharpening the dick") or "puntacazzismo" ("the philosophical attitude of sharpening dicks") is a colorful expression used often by users in regards of what they are saying by themselves, a preventive self-criticism to avoid the charge of pedantry and nitpicking, to absolve themselves morally when they are really pedant and nitpicking -- http://i.imgur.com/BkGl1C...

Germano Mosconi (11 November 1932 – 1 March 2012) was an Italian sportswriter, news presenter and a Television personality. https://www.youtube.com/w...

1 decade ago from Android - Comment - Hide - - -

Quoting extensively Wikipedia: "Mosconi, who was born in San Bonifacio, was a well-known television personality in northern Italy from the 1980s until his death in early March 2012 because of his sportscasting on Telenuovo in Verona. In 1982 he received the Cesare D'Oro international award for journalist merit. Mosconi received most of his notoriety for his short-temper and excessive swearing and blaspheming. In 2004, he was the subject of an anonymous Internet video that made him known all over Italy and around the world. The video shows some of his off-air bloopers, featuring his irate reactions to various problems (people unexpectedly entering the studio, various noises, illegible writing on the news sheets he receives, or simply his lapsus linguae)..." - bezdomnyj82 from Android - -

The very sad thing is that after a while the early amusement is slowing fading into a sort of professional empathy for the journalistic personality of Mosconi, and the jackass disturbing his job with loud noises, going up and down in the studio, opening and closing that door. - bezdomnyj82 - -

"...signora mia" is a typical expression normally used in caretaker like chitchats, typically over filled by over-generalizations, political apathy, and dumb-ass false deductions http://i.imgur.com/ErzUhe... In the italian community is used to make a parody of dumbness generally found on facebook or traditional media indignation provoking report pieces that lack of objective facts, self relegating to a meaningless condition of "careteker chitchat".

"Spaccare il culo ai passeri" [lit. "Kicking sparrows' asses"] is a coloured expression to enhance the shade of the "kicking asses" image. The idea behind this is probably that such a small object as a sparrow ass requires an incredible amount of accuracy to be smashed. http://www.andthengod.com...

"puntinare" (dotting) or "..." : the condition of having not enough words of disappointment to express blame on someone else's thread. In preventive apologetic form is also "Non puntinatemi.." "don't dot-dot-dot me for.." before writing something really awful.

"Il Molise non esiste" - "Molise does not exist" --- Molise is a small region between Puglie, Campania and Abruzzi, some of the major souther Italian regions.http://tinyurl.com/oo7yht... Due to its small size, and the the alleged irrelevance of the area by most of the italian internet, the joke about its inexistence started circulating during the blog Age previous to social media Era http://tinyurl.com/psjygl... and the joke is still popular...

"bellachesssei" (literally "what-a-nice-gal-you-are") used ironically to comment any female user, more often by other female users, who is posting a selfie by any purpose but looking for attention, like showing a particular dress, a piece of furniture, a place, a participation to any kind of event. It's a satirical expression used to slightly imply that anyone is an attention seeker inside. The male corresponding variant does exist ("bellochesei") but is rarely used in that way.

1 decade ago - Comment - Hide - - -

We rather prefer using the same originally female form to address even male user "being" attention seeker. But it's never taken too seriously by anyone, it's a joke but also kinda a demonstration of affection, indeed. - bezdomnyj82 - -

[by request] As you may guess OALD isn't an acronym for Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary but a distorted spelling for OLD to let it sound like an archaic "olde" or an almost barbaric YAWP over the rooftops of the interweb. Is used with the same purposes of screaming REPOST in the comments at forum or discussion boards. By commenting OALD to someone's post you are implying that your knowledge of the internet is deeper than its. http://i.imgur.com/SfG1WU... http://i.imgur.com/jvkB3s...

You are implying that its purpose to share anything considered new is instead such a beginner's effort and therefore you are a much more internet fine expert, declaring something is OLD even older than a couple of hours, that in the internet time is equivalent to two decades. - bezdomnyj82 from Android - -

better "youre right", IMNHO, or something like "you're rightest". Trouble is, too many people write "your right" thinking it's correct. "Ciai ragione" is ungrammatical, but on purpose. - .mau. - -

"Awanagana wazz amerigan boy..." is gibberish, doesn't actually mean anything. During the eighties, the period in which I mostly grew up, Italy was fascinated by American culture. Every single thing was tagged American to look cool, commercials often used gibberish English in jingles and slogan to appeal to youth. Tv shows had EngRish theme songs. [Edit] https://www.youtube.com/w... Using a notorious quote from the movie "Un americano a Roma" we somehow started mocking this habit.

[EDIT] More recently the odd English spoken by Italian politicians having speeches for communitarian events in Europe, or during travels in the U.S. was mocked as well with some gibberish sounds resembling Alberto Sordi's spoken english. - As mentioned before there is a strong rivalry between people from Rome and people from Milan: some kind of people in Milan area, especially yuppies or people working in Marketing, often use english words inside italian conversations to look cool, to make an impression. There is a joke about an entrepreneur in Milan trying to open a new "Salumeria" (a Delicatessen selling salami and ham) but asking a term loan for a "Start-up in the business area of luxury Salami and Jabon sliced". In this context, and in FF, "Awanagana" is used to mock this kind of people behavior and attitude, but also odd English construct of people pretending to know the English language. - bezdomnyj82 from Android - -

"Prendo i preservativi e vengo..." ["I'm taking my condoms and coming over there..."] Was a sort of embarrassingly awkward pick-up line, used by an annoying user to troll those female user that in his opinion were seeking for attentions. He just used this comment on any photo of any kind of dress, shoes, food, make up, french manicure, book, "feeling lonely" status posted by any female user for literally years.. http://media-cache-ak0.pi...

Fassino is very tall and lean, and he nearly always bears a sad face: this time his face was just sadder than usual. This photo became a meme, with people jokingly try and guess what he was looking at, and often resurfaces. - .mau. - -
