😂😂Almost all the words come from southern Italy and are still used here. A big hug to all Italians in America, you are our pride 👍

❤❤❤❤❤

It's cool you're showing love and respect to Italian Americans. Some comments from Italians in Italy are not so nice. They are probably Milanese.

[@simonepiscedda2119]

@@geoffoakland Thank you. I'll let you know that Milanese people are extinct, we are all children of southerners who immigrated to the north in the 1950s, a hug from Milan

Just mappina (never heard about personally) and stonato are from southern Italy (in northern Italy it means just out of tune), the other words are used all over the country. My grandma/nonna used to call me Mammalucco when I did bad things as a kid and she was from Tuscany. Nice channel btw

Mammalucco means stupid person but in Italy it is obsolete, it was used until the 1950s. Mappina is the kitchen rag but it is its name in Campania and is said to a person who is worth little (si na mappin') then Disgraziato (without grace of God) is still used but very little and Stonato (without tone, out of mind) is also rarely used

[@robertlosasso4222]

[@paullim1933]

the one older italian lady actually knew italian and not ny italian dialect

[@UE_5_beginner]

1:30 probably from the spanish word Mameluco, italians doesn't say that word since is spanish.

[@tarajokes]

Yes. We, Italians, said it all the time in NY ❤

[@UE_5_beginner]

i meant to say Italians from Italy @@tarajokes

[@banamarco]

The Mamluks were a Turkish militia but because in Italy "mammalucco" means "stupid" it is just phonetic symbolism. I don't know if it's the same thing for the Spanish

[@vincentruvo6988]

I'm familiar with all the slang words in this video except for mamaluke. It's probably American.

[@tarajokes]

Yes def ❤

[@simonepiscedda2119]

Mammalucco It is still used in Calabrian and Sicilian dialects and means stupid

[@tarajokes]

😂😂👏👏

[@Prestigiazioneit]

mammalucco means just stupid and clumsy

[@tarajokes]

❤

[@lukepetronella7432]

This is a word directly from the Sicilian Language.

[@Dario_Mazzella1975]

Ive yet to hear mamaluke. Havent done anything stupid enough to be called a mamaluke. Give it time

[@tarajokes]

[@UncleMikeNJ]

Get to the important stuff, like, do you call pork roll "pork roll," or do you call it "Taylor ham," like a bunch o' dopes in Bergen County do?

[@tarajokes]

I did that. It’s on my page

[@giovanniforlini]

Not just one of these words is italian but just sounds as a similar dialect of southern Italy in fifties. American Italian doesn't mean Italian and has nothing to do with Italy. Italians are just those who was born an live in Italy and speak italian. You don't speak a world in italian and are 100% american and there's nothing bad for it. Don't call your self italian please. You aren't.
