I'm a dance student in Rome and my husband works at the film school there. I actually saw your "Ohhhh!" written in a script. It actually has its own spelling..

Italian slang can be the best - espcially roman slang.<BR/>Sognatrice - I think you mean "Amazzate oh!" which is also a song by Luciano Rossi on a compilation called Una Rotonda Sul Mare...I think.Italianissimahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04346587826608639313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23512026.post-81697782535056481672007-04-02T11:02:00.000+02:002007-04-02T11:02:00.000+02:00sognatrice, finny and madelyne-it's so funny to watch Italians and their slang!

I also like vaffunculo but understand that it's not something you hear a lot of women saying.<BR/><BR/>I grew up in the Tri-State area (NY/NJ) and I try to ease up on the cursing but it's hard. hahanyc/caribbean ragazzahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09370358466131415888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23512026.post-41071480544850423432007-03-30T09:13:00.000+02:002007-03-30T09:13:00.000+02:00my brother in law is Roman & when he gets together with his family it's funny to listen to.

It's something I'm totally obsessed with when I'm visiting <A HREF="www.athomerome.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Shelley</A>. My favorite is when her husband (!!! They just got married a few days ago) is talking to his friends and goes,"Aaoooo!" - usually when they say something crazy or surprising. Great reaction - and, from what Shelley tells me, very Roman. Of course, he is Trasteverino, so that makes sense. The first thing he taught me, was "Que cazzo!" and now encourages me to yell it while we're driving. Very funny.<BR/><BR/>Of course, he enjoys using American slang more than anyone I know and is constantly trying to shock us with the most vulgar thing he can think of.

I have to say that one of my famous Romanisms (?) is the mix of "ammazza" with the classic "oh" so that it becomes something like "Ammazza-ooooh!" Romans sure are fun to listen to :)sognatricehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13578703393987896737noreply@blogger.com
