    There is an italian girl I like and I'm watching this just to surprise her with some of these expressions and make her laugh. Wish me " in bocca al lupo" guys!

    I wouldn't translate "cavolo" as damn. Because the fact that you use "cavolo" is because you're avoiding curse words in order to use it in more polite company. I would say it's more like "heck" What the heck! Che cavolo! (you see, instead of using 'hell' or 'caz##") Enjoyed your video. I would use mannaggia for damn, no? :-)
