(Side note: cazzo is Italian for “cock,” but it really means so much more than that. It’s a word that’s larger on the inside than its five letters would lead you to believe. Cazzo carries a fine, long, winding caravan of epithetic meanings: cock, dick, prick, shit, penis, pecker, and fuck. For example, you might in exasperation exclaim, “Che cazzo stai dicendo?” Which, literally translated, means, “What the cock are you saying?” but more meaningfully translates to “What the fuck are you saying?” However, if you’re a woman talking to your girlfriend, she might ask of your new lover, “Ha un bel cazzo?” an inquiry regarding the fitness of your new lover’s genitals. Cazzo is an elastic word, one whose growth verges on tumescence.)
