General information about Italian slang and how to use these pages

Rimorchiare

[ri-mor-KYA-ray] Literally, to pull a trailer (rimorchio), but used to mean to go hunting for someone to seduce. "Da giovane, ho imparato l'inglese rimorchiando le turiste Americane." - "When I was young, I learned English while attempting to seduce American tourists." (Yes, this is a direct quote.)

Rincoglionito

[rin-coal-yone-EE-to] To be turned into a coglione - that is, to be made extremely stupid. Slightly politer would be rinscemito, derived from scemo.

Rompiculo, Rompipalle, Rompicoglioni, Rompicazzo

[ROM-pee] Rompi = buster, breaker. Anyone busting your balls, ass, or penis is... a pain in the ass.

Mi sono rotto il cazzo ("I've busted my dick") means "I'm fed up."

Rottura

[ROT-too-rah] Literally "breakage", but used as polite shorthand for rottura di balle - ball-breakage, e.g. hassle or pain in the ass.
