I am finding a lot of these to be very amusing, and wondering if we should create a similar room for documenting our inside jokes for the Italians. (things like DYSP need explaining)

"TREDUNICO", or sometimes in the extended and filologically correct form of "THREAD UNICO" (unique thread) is a way to call the users to a single thread to discuss any kind of shared event currently going on, be it a sport match, an election, a particulary interesting piece of news, a tv show...

“Paza e solare” is an ironical expression used to mock a (mainly female) person who makes or says stupid things claiming to be particularly original and unconventional. Literally it’s a distortion of the expression “pazza e solare” (“Crazy and shiny”) which is used by several people in their social account descriptions trying desperately to sound nonconformist.

It occurs also as “Solare e un po’ paza” ("Shiny and a little bit crazy”) or in the redundant “paza paza paza” ("crazy crazy crazy”) which is also a quotation of an italian pop song by Raffaella Carrà (“Pazza pazza pazza sulla terrazza”, that is “crazy crazy crazy on a terrace”, https://www.youtube.com/w... ) - marcobeccaria - -

The trend started long before the advent of social media with a known italian TV show on a music thematic channel, called "The Club" were people in disco nightclubs were asked to leave a video-message in order promote themselves into a paid dating and chatting service. This video-message were broadcasted on national television regularly for moths and years. Due to the nature of the place and context in which this video-interview were shot, interviewed people were often deafened by the loud music, or drunk, or simply typical disco-douchebags, and their stupidity was kinda entertaining. The interviews always ended with the question "Define Youself in three words" so the answer was, 99% of the times, "SOLARE, PAZZA/O, TRASGRESSIVA/O" in mixed order. This kind of catchphrase took hold with the advent of Facebook, and lot of people trying to be particularly original and unconventional started re-using them. - bezdomnyj82 - -

appello ai redattori, usate una sintassi chiara, e virgolettate le espressioni per metterle in maggiore evidenza. usate parentesi quadre punteggiatura e trattini per creare un effetto glossario.

If any english speaker could come up with a short, nice translation, it would be nice and could be used in the random joke translations - signorn - -
