General information about Italian slang and how to use these pages

Tacchinare

[TAHK-kee-NA-ray] To hit on, attempt to seduce. What the young people use today instead of rimorchiare.

Tette

[TET-tay] Tits. Not to be confused with tetto, roof.

Tirare un Pacco

[tee-RAHR-ay oon PAHK-ko] "To throw a package"- to stand up, e.g. not show up for a date. Not rude.

Tirarsela

[tih-RAR-seh-la] Literally a reflexive form of "to pull", but used as "to give oneself airs." Se la tira tanto - S/he really gives him/herself airs (really thinks he/she is something). Not particularly rude.

Tiro Mancino

[TEER-o mahn-CHEE-no] "A left-handed throw".

Troia

[TROY-ah] Prostitute. The name derives from Troy, the city, because Helen betrayed her husband with a Trojan, and therefore became a slut. The movie of that name did not get an Italianized title.

Trombamico/a

[trom-bah-MEE-ko/ka] (Male/female) Fuck buddy. (This seems to be a new coinage among the young; older people are telling me - rather wistfully - that they've never heard it.)

Trombare

[trom-BAHR-ay] To fuck.
