Podcasts about Slang

Studi l'italiano da mesi, conosci la grammatica a memoria, sai coniugare anche i verbi irregolari… poi arrivi in Italia, ti siedi al bar, senti due ragazzi che chiacchierano e... non capisci quasi niente! Il motivo è semplice: nessun libro di testo ti insegna lo slang, quelle parole informali e vive che gli italiani usano davvero ogni giorno. Scopriamo insieme le 20 espressioni gergali per capire — e parlare — come un vero italiano. Impara Queste Espressioni e Smetti di Parlare come un Manuale Lo slang italiano è la chiave per uscire dal "robottino da libro di grammatica" e diventare davvero spontaneo. Le 20 parole che vedremo sono quelle che senti in continuazione nei film, nelle serie TV, nelle canzoni e nelle conversazioni di tutti i giorni. Vediamole una a una, divise in cinque gruppi. Le 5 Parole Jolly dello Slang Italiano Iniziamo con le parole "jolly", quelle che senti in ogni frase e che gli italiani usano come riempitivi naturali per parlare come un madrelingua. 1. Boh La regina indiscussa dello slang italiano: un'interiezione praticamente intraducibile con una sola parola. Significa "non lo so", "non ne ho idea", ma a seconda del tono esprime anche indifferenza, dubbio o rassegnazione. "A che ora apre il museo? – Boh, prova a guardare sul sito!" (= non lo so) "Ti è piaciuto il ristorante? – Mah, boh… niente di speciale." (= indifferenza) "Perché Marco è arrabbiato? – Boh! E che ne so io." (= rassegnazione) Curiosità: si accompagna quasi sempre al gesto delle spalle alzate e delle mani aperte. Lo puoi anche allungare ("booooh!") per enfasi. Lo usano proprio tutti, dai bambini ai nonni. 2. Tipo Letteralmente significa "genere, categoria". Ma nello slang fa due lavori: è un riempitivo, come il famigerato "like" inglese, oppure significa "circa, più o meno", spesso per introdurre un esempio. "Ci vediamo tipo alle otto." (= verso le otto) "Ero tipo sotto shock quando l'ho saputo!" "Mi va qualcosa di leggero, tipo un'insalata." "Un tipo" o "una tipa" indica anche genericamente "una persona". Ma occhio: come riempitivo è il classico tormentone dei più giovani. Usalo per suonare naturale, ma con misura. 3. Roba Parola informale tanto vaga quanto comodissima: significa "cosa, cose, oggetti, materiale" (in inglese "stuff"). È perfetta quando non vuoi, o non sai, chiamare qualcosa con precisione. "Raccogli la tua roba!" (= le tue cose) "Ho un sacco di roba da fare prima di stasera." "Togli questa roba dal tavolo, dobbiamo mangiare." Brilla nelle esclamazioni: "che roba!" per lo stupore, "roba da matti!" per qualcosa di assurdo. Ha origini germaniche: deriva da una parola che significava "bottino", la stessa da cui viene anche il verbo "rubare". 4. Un Sacco Significa "molto, moltissimo, tantissimo". L'immagine è chiarissima: un sacco bello pieno, cioè una grande quantità. Funziona con i verbi, con i nomi e perfino con gli aggettivi. "Mi sei mancato un sacco!" "C'era un sacco di gente alla festa." "Tuo fratello è un sacco simpatico." Fa parte di una bella famiglia di espressioni per dire "tanto", come "una marea di", "una cifra" e "un botto". Insomma, di modi per esagerare in italiano ne abbiamo… un sacco! 5. Anche No Un rifiuto netto e ironico: "no di sicuro", "col cavolo", "manco per sogno". Il bello è che usiamo "anche", che di solito serve ad aggiungere qualcosa, seguito da un secco "no". "Una corsetta domani alle sei di mattina? – Eh, anche no, grazie!" "Lavorare anche nel weekend? Ma anche no." "Pagare quindici euro per un cocktail? Anche no." Tutto sta nel tono: va detto con una certa calma sfrontata, magari con un sopracciglio alzato. Ha una parente strettissima: "anche basta!", che si usa quando qualcosa o qualcuno ci ha davvero stancati. Slang per Giudicare Cose e Persone Quattro parole per esprimere il tuo giudizio su qualcuno o qualcosa, perfette per esprimere entusiasmo in italiano in modo naturale. 6. Figata Sostantivo: una cosa fantastica, bellissima, super interessante (in inglese "a cool thing"). Perfetta per esprimere entusiasmo verso un oggetto, un posto o un'esperienza. "Che figata questo videogioco!" "Vivere in Giappone per un anno? Una figata pazzesca!" "Hanno aperto una pista di pattinaggio in centro: che figata!" Attenzione: "figata" descrive solo le cose, mai le persone. Per le persone c'è "figo/figa". In compenso "figata" è sempre educata e sicura: la puoi usare ovunque senza alcun imbarazzo. 7. Figo / Figa Aggettivo per descrivere persone (e cose) molto cool, in gamba, di tendenza, a volte attraenti: figo al maschile, figa al femminile. "Il tuo nuovo collega è davvero figo." "Che giacca figa!" "Sei stata fighissima a rispondergli così!" Attenzione importante: al femminile, "figa" è anche un termine volgare per indicare l'organo genitale femminile. Riferita a una donna può risultare ambigua o imbarazzante, a seconda del tono. Il trucco: per le cose belle usa "figata"; per dire che un uomo è figo nessun problema; con il femminile, un po' più di attenzione. Origine e Varianti Geografiche Niente a che vedere con il "fico" frutto! Secondo l'Accademia della Crusca nasce probabilmente come slang giovanile romano degli anni '70, da "ficaccio", una deformazione popolare di "efficace" (attestata addirittura in un sonetto di Belli del 1835!). Sul piano geografico, "figo" (con la g) è più tipico del Nord, mentre "fico" (con la c) è più tipico del Centro Italia (Roma, Toscana). 8. Sfigato / Sfigata Il contrario di figo, con due significati vicini: "sfortunato" oppure "perdente" (in inglese "loser"). È il contesto a dirti quale dei due intende chi parla. "Marco perde sempre il treno, gli si rompe tutto: è proprio sfigato!" (= sfortunato) "Smettila di fare lo sfigato e invitala a uscire!" "Sei rimasto a casa il sabato sera? Che sfigato!" (tra amici, scherzando) Deriva da "sfiga", che nello slang significa "sfortuna", da cui anche l'esclamazione "che sfiga!". È un po' offensiva: tra amici e in tono scherzoso va benissimo, ma evita di darla a uno sconosciuto. 9. Spaccare Letteralmente "rompere in due", ma nello slang significa "essere fortissimo, eccezionale, andare alla grande" (in inglese "to rock", "to kill it"). "Questa canzone spacca!" "Hai spaccato all'esame, bravissima!" "Il tuo nuovo taglio di capelli spacca davvero." Per esagerare ancora di più, "spaccare di brutto". Piccola precisazione: "spaccarsi" (riflessivo) significa invece "lavorare durissimo". Ma "spacca!" da solo è semplicemente il massimo dei complimenti. Stati d'Animo: tra Fastidio e Relax Cinque espressioni gergali per parlare di emozioni, fastidi e momenti di relax. Per altre formule simili, puoi consultare la guida sulle espressioni colloquiali quotidiane. 10. Che Palle Un grande classico del fastidio: significa "che noia", "che seccatura", "che rottura". Letteralmente "palle" sono i testicoli, quindi è un po' volgare, ma talmente diffusa che la sentirai ovunque. "Devo rifare tutto da capo, che palle!" "Piove di nuovo e avevo organizzato il picnic… che palle." "Domani riunione alle otto. Che due palle." "Rompere le palle" significa infastidire, mentre "avere le palle piene" vuol dire essere stufi. Tra amici è normalissima, ma evitala in contesti formali; le versioni più educate sono "che noia", "che barba", "che pizza". Per approfondire, c'è una guida dedicata sulle parole volgari in italiano. 11. Sclerare Significa "perdere la pazienza, dare di matto, esplodere per il nervoso" (in inglese "to freak out"). "Quando ho visto il conto, sono sclerato di brutto!" "Mia madre sclera se lascio la stanza in disordine." "Sto sclerando con questo computer che si blocca in continuazione!" Deriva, scherzosamente, dal termine medico "arteriosclerosi" (per via del decadimento mentale che la malattia può causare), ma nello slang non c'entra niente la medicina. C'è anche il sostantivo "sclero": "che sclero!" per una situazione stressante. È una parola piuttosto giovanile. 12. Rosicare Letteralmente "rosicchiare, mordere a piccoli pezzi", ma nello slang significa "rodersi dall'invidia o dalla rabbia, non accettare una sconfitta" (in inglese "to be salty"). "Ho preso trenta e lui rosica perché ne ha presi ventotto." "Hai perso e basta, dai, non rosicare!" "Quando ha vinto la mia squadra, gli avversari rosicavano di brutto." Chi rosica sempre è un "rosicone". Nasce dal dialetto romano, ma ormai la usa tutta Italia. È imparentata con l'espressione "rodersi il fegato": l'immagine è quella dell'invidia che ti rosicchia da dentro. 13. Scialla Significa "tranquillo, stai sereno, rilassati, non c'è problema" (in inglese "chill", "relax"). Un piccolo invito alla calma, perfetto per sdrammatizzare. "Scialla, abbiamo ancora un sacco di tempo!" "Hai sbagliato l'esame? Scialla, lo rifarai!" "Sono in ansia per il colloquio! – Ma scialla, sei preparatissimo." Sull'origine gli esperti si dividono. C'è chi la fa risalire all'arabo "inshallah" ("se Dio vuole"), arrivato forse tramite le parlate liguri e il romanesco, e chi al verbo italiano "scialare" (godersela), dal latino "exhalare". In ogni caso è esplosa in tutta Italia nel 2011 grazie al film Scialla! di Francesco Bruni. 14. Daje Versione romana di "dai", rafforzata: "forza!", "andiamo!", "così si fa!" (in inglese "come on!", "let's go!"). Un grido di incoraggiamento ed entusiasmo. Per scoprire altre espressioni regionali italiane, c'è una guida dedicata. "Daje, ce la puoi fare!" "Pizza stasera? – Daje!" "Daje Roma, daje!" (allo stadio) Si pronuncia "dàie", con la "j" che si legge come una "i" lunga, mai all'inglese! È l'inno della romanità, legatissimo alla Roma e a campioni come Totti,...

Ben issues a formal apology for confusing his Pingers from his Nangs from his Yippers after an uproar in the comments section — the Australian drug slang correction nobody asked for but everyone needed. Ione reveals she was once hurt not to be invited to do cocaine on the set of a famous movie — connected to why dating Anthony Kiedis put her off drugs entirely. We also discuss Zooey Deschanel claiming she's never even seen cocaine, and why we believe her completely. Then: Ione's review of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey — loved it, even without IMAX — including the film's quietly radical political message about who the real invaders are, and a shout out to Welsh actor Andrew Howard who plays Matt Damon's sidekick. A deep dive into A Clockwork Orange after a family outing to the Dendy revival screening (yes, with the 16-year-old, yes, with grandma), the original optimistic ending Anthony Burgess wrote that Kubrick never filmed, and why 70s cinema made audiences grapple with their own morality in ways films rarely do anymore. Plus: Chloe Sevigny and the Grateful Dead, why punk and jamming have a complicated relationship, Ben and Georgia Maq prepping for their joint tour (learning "Junkie Logic" by Spikefuck), Japan tour tickets on sale with Shonen Knife on the Osaka bill, the Wile E. Coyote Will Forte movie Warner Bros killed for a tax break, and what it's actually like to see a real Tasmanian Devil.Dive deeper into our world at https://weirdertogether.substack.com

What does it say about us when a phrase that means almost nothing can take over an entire generation?In this episode of Girls Gone Gritty, Farley and Jennifer unpack the wild world of viral slang, short-form video culture, and why trends like “6-7” catch fire even when nobody can fully explain them. From TikTok phrases and “brain rot” to acronyms, outfit checks, and kids speaking in shorthand, they explore how social media has changed the way young people talk, connect, and chase belonging.The conversation also moves through their top three current stories, including Caitlin Clark's long-awaited Nike shoe, J.D. Vance's faith-focused memoir, and Elon Musk's growing power in tech, AI, and space. Along the way, they ask bigger questions about attention spans, instant gratification, culture, and whether today's viral moments are harmless fun or a sign that substance is getting lost.They close with a Got Grit award for Japanese World Cup fans who clean up after themselves, proving that some trends are worth copying.Episode Highlights:(0:00) Intro(1:04) Recording apart, summer colds, travel, and masks(3:06) Caitlin Clark's Nike shoe and signature collection(4:45) J.D.

  Episode 372 features The Slang. Based in both Ohio and Maryland, The Slang is the brainchild of John and Felix, who have been releasing albums for many years now. They bring a very smooth, polished indie rock sound. Their full band will be featured at this year's PTR Fest on July 18th at Fish Head Cantina, main stage at 6 PM. Get there early. They also have the honor of being formerly self-cancelled since their last appearance on the show. So John is back to tell the tale of the fallout. On the episode I featured their brand new track “lies, lies, lies” if you like you can stream it wherever you like.    Please follow, rate, or review the podcast wherever you are streaming if you'd like to help us out.  -- Part-Time Rockstar Productions is available in the DMV for music videos and live filming.

Jackson untangles Scottish slang with The Tartan Army and Rich can't stop laughing

This week, Chris goes over some cigar terms for newcomers.

Do you remember all those terms that got tossed about? Did you know what they meant?   Your kids will hear sexual slang for private body parts and sex acts and you need to be ready to explain them, or, even better, tell them what they are before they ask. Autistic, ADHD, and other neurotypical kids need to know these words and phrases because they are more likely to be confused and say them at the wrong time.   Check out my book, Sex Talks With Tweens: What to Say & How to Say It, for scripts on just about everything. You don't have to find the words because I've done it for you.    Got some thoughts or questions? Amy@BirdsAndBeesAndKid.com    

On this very special episode Q-Ball (Corner Pocket, Baby Slang ah ah) graces us with his presence. He takes through his illustrious career, shaving his head at 3, his incounters with Michael Jordan, Michael Jackson, Kriss Kross, and his beef with Nas. Hosted on Acast.

Susie is moonlighting in the motion capture industry, and even though it's technically top secret. she shares the challenges of tech modeling and why she thinks her and Sarah's ability to follow instructions makes them succeed on the Challenge. Sarah describes an unconventional way some families are deciding what last name their baby gets, and Susie is mad about it (even though she thinks she would crush it). Sarah thinks every celebrity is now into gardening all of the sudden. Everything is coming up roses for Sarah because she is binging gardening content. It's like Green Acres over here. Susie just knows that apparently there's a problem with peat bogs. Sarah is also obsessing about the magic of Temple Grandin, why she was more in tune with the interior lives of animals, and why she thinks she has the same traits. Despite our query last week, we learned people do, in fact, eat pigeons, but we're pretty sure they're gross. Sarah shares some of the latest slang words of young people, and we learn once again that we are, in fact, very old.Brain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Get $30 off your first box - PLUS free Croissants for life - when you go to https://wildgrain.com/braincandy to start your subscription today.Get up to 80% OFF with fast and free shipping on everything at https://www.wayfair.com April 25th through the 27thTDM-RESERVATION: 1.

How have recommendation algorithms affected language? Linguist Adam Aleksic — aka the Etymology Nerd — says most “Gen-Z slang” is either appropriated from Black people or incels. This week, we trace how -maxxing went from the eugenicist looksmaxxing subculture to trending TikToks to the Pentagon tweeting about “lethality maxxing.” And we ask what's actually at stake when we use words without knowing where they come from.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

Todd and Julie are officially approaching 30 years of marriage, and somehow they're still here arguing about weather moods, Gen Z slang, Housewives drama, and whether Todd knows anything about pop culture at all. Julie puts Todd through a full crash course on internet phrases, TikTok trends, celebrities, and viral sayings while Todd confidently gets almost everything wrong… but not without making it entertaining.The two also reflect on the one-year anniversary of being pardoned and what this past year of rebuilding, reconnecting, and simply being home together has meant to their family. Between the jokes, the chaos, and Todd threatening to install armed guards at the gates to keep the kids away, there's also a real sense of gratitude for where life has brought them.There's talk about marriage, aging, social media hate comments, reality TV obsessions, and the kind of conversations that only happen after 30 years together. Equal parts ridiculous and heartfelt, this episode feels exactly like sitting in the kitchen with Todd and Julie while they spiral into ten different conversations at once.So pull up a chair, laugh a little, and remember… if Todd Chrisley learns Gen Z slang, truly anything is possible.Thank you to our sponsors for supporting the show!- Booking.com: This episode of Chrisley Confessions 2.0 is brought to you by Booking.com!
