A Sicilian expression

#1 Post by richb »

So as not to go off topic in this thread or be accused of being Salvatore Termini:
viewtopic.php?p=804726#p804726
I will post here to give a Sicilian expression.

Mastru Cola, cu ‘na furma

Salvatore Termini, sometimes known as Totò Termini, is a legend in Sicilian culture. It’s a name that’s brought up to refer to something specific that doesn’t make sense to anyone who isn’t Sicilian. If, when you refer to someone, you say “Who’s Totò Termini,” it means that that person feels very self-important for reasons that are unbeknownst to the rest of us. If you say “Totò Termini rode in on a horse,” it means that someone is butting into the conversation who has no business doing so. And so on.

That's cool. ;)

My grandma used to say "Well I'll swan". Means "I swear"

Another one of her favorites was "Sh*t fire and save the matches". Means "I'm surprised"

Just Southern USA rural slang.
