When I said this to Alex, he simply corrected my pronunciation.
I learned the useful word from a New Yorker profile of Beppe Grillo, a political comedian in Italy with a much-read blog. Grillo has been sponsoring V-Day protests against the convicted criminals in the Italian Parliament: Victory, Vendetta, and Vaffanculo.
Travis asked "When would it be appropriate to use 'vaffanculo'"?
Alex thundered, NEVER, it's never appropriate, that's the whole point!

by the way, that was hilarious watching Alex try to explain to us what it meant...and then to see him roll his eyes at us when we tried to pronounce it... :)
