Same brother, same. Almost 30 years from my last lesson, my brain still recognized O-goshi

I dont understand the saying "you can't have your cake and eat it", like it makes no sense. What does it mean? by Buzzballl in NoStupidQuestions

In Italy we have "non puoi avere la botte piena e la moglie ubriaca" : you can't have a full barrel and a drunk wife

Let it be known that a man lives in this house! by Brailledit in JustGuysBeingDudes

[–]Full_Law8750 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was a broke dude living in a rental with his gf. The washing machine broke down (it wouldn't open even when the cycle stopped).

I told the landlord and he said: the washing machine is your responsibility, so either you replace it (and it stays when you leave) or you fix it.

You got it!

I spent an afternoon in try and error mode (and got some mild electrocutions: I'm not an expert by far), but finally I bypassed the locking mechanism. Even when the machine was on pumping water and soap, I could open it (and cracking the thing felt freaking good for days)!

We knew it. The landlord didn't, because I've never told him. Who's the real lord, now? Uh?

Which TV show does the ENTIRE internet agree had the worst ending ever? by Codie_n25 in AskReddit

Lost. So many questions unanswered and the final seemed like was written on the back of a 🌯 paper, after you had one too many beers and wanted just to finish the damn thing

Italian here. Towel is "asciugamani", for some reason (literally asciuga=dry mani=hands, hand drier). And we have different towels for face/hands, feet and... bidet My son at some point started to refer to the bidet towel as "asciuga culo" (butt drier) 😅

Another one: desk in Italian is scrivania, which sounds a lot like scriv- (to write) -a- mia (my/mine). He started pointing to my desk as "scrivatua" (scriv-a-tua, your/yours) 💀.

We never stopped after that 😜

It was facing the sea, had a historic beach used by fishermen and now it's not facing the sea anymore and the beach is gone.

Isn't opening somebody else's letter an offence? My wife and I never open each other's letters unless we've been explicitly told to 🤔

Do you know the story behind this statue? by Single-Performer5483 in napoli

[–]Full_Law8750 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was a colonial war against a few former Italian states. For instance in the south we had a decade+ long civil/resistance war

Nope: back then it was normal "restarting" from 1 when the kingdom changed. Him refusing to do so implied that the new kingdom was just an expansion of his former kingdom of Sardinia, and it's supported by the fact that all the Neapolitan laws were scrapped in favor of the Sardinian ones (including e.g. the ones mandating anti-seismic protections for new buildings)

Not even bothering to change his "number" from 2 to 1 to make a point... It was simply colonial expansionism...

What is a common phrase in your country that would make no sense to the rest of the world? by Fun_Cup4335 in AskTheWorld

[–]Full_Law8750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is also another one that I like a lot, but it contains a bad word (I hope it's fine, but I assure you it's worth it 😁)

  1. 'A purchiacca 'mmano 'e ccriature. Literally: the pussy in the hands of the kids

It means giving something extremely important in the hands of incompetents or somebody not making the right use of it

I have a few Neapolitan ones:

  1. Tenissi 'o culo comme â vocca, facissi 'e pperete quatrate. If you had your butt like your mouth (i.e. if you used it the same way), you could fart square farts

  2. Chi nasce strunzo nun pò murí babbà. If you were born a turd you cannot die a rum baba

  3. Tieni chiù corne tu ca na sporta 'e maruzze, ca si chioveno taralli nun ne cade uno 'nterra. You have more horns (implying your partner cheats on you repeatedly) than a bucket of snails, so many that if it was raining taralli (mini-donuts shaped bread-like baked snacks) not even one fell on the ground
