Lester to Italian inside jokes and memes
"Il thread dei commenti che suscitano stima" - Literally "The thread of respect-eliciting comments". In June, 2011 FF user reloj created a thread to collect the smartest and funniest comments of Italian FriendFeed. The thread became a sort of Hall of Fame, a place where all users aspired to be quoted.

In almost four years, more than a thousand comments were quoted in the thread. They retained all their wit even when extrapolated from their original thread. In the last weeks of life of FF, even a few comments from non-Italian users were added. - Lester - - (Edit | Remove)

"CHIUDETE L'INTERNET" meaning "CLOSE THE ACCESS TO THE INTERWEB" - is used when a smart joke with a perfect timing succeed in closing a discussion, in sealing the argument, and invalidate any other argument, causing the general mockery of the contenders and the topic in general. It's also synonymous for "the internet is perfect as it is with this joke right now, close it like these are its last words at least for the day"

In Italian we often say "oggi vince l'internet" (that is, "wins the internet for today"). Is it the same in English? - .mau. - - (Edit | Remove)

"Osservatorio FB" "facebook look-up" http://i.imgur.com/LPHTTd... was a room in which italian friendfeed exchanged and posted oddities and extreme stupidity examples from their facebook timelines. "GOMBLODDO" theories, horrible jokes, ignorance and intolerance of the much more wider varieties of douchebags of the internet available on facebook were published daily.

"PICCI" is the way we call our beloved pets, or any cute animal we may see on our feed. It is a contraption from "piccolo", meaning "small"

The innate property of the "picci" to cause commotion, love, attention and such is called "Piccyness" (sometimes, "Picciness". A cute little kitty may have out of scale levels of piccyness. - signorn - - (Edit | Remove)

I am finding a lot of these to be very amusing, and wondering if we should create a similar room for documenting our inside jokes for the Italians. (things like DYSP need explaining)

"TREDUNICO", or sometimes in the extended and filologically correct form of "THREAD UNICO" (unique thread) is a way to call the users to a single thread to discuss any kind of shared event currently going on, be it a sport match, an election, a particulary interesting piece of news, a tv show...

marcobeccaria to Italian inside jokes and memes
“Paza e solare” is an ironical expression used to mock a (mainly female) person who makes or says stupid things claiming to be particularly original and unconventional. Literally it’s a distortion of the expression “pazza e solare” (“Crazy and shiny”) which is used by several people in their social account descriptions trying desperately to sound nonconformist.

It occurs also as “Solare e un po’ paza” ("Shiny and a little bit crazy”) or in the redundant “paza paza paza” ("crazy crazy crazy”) which is also a quotation of an italian pop song by Raffaella Carrà (“Pazza pazza pazza sulla terrazza”, that is “crazy crazy crazy on a terrace”, https://www.youtube.com/w... ) - marcobeccaria - - (Edit | Remove)

The trend started long before the advent of social media with a known italian TV show on a music thematic channel, called "The Club" were people in disco nightclubs were asked to leave a video-message in order promote themselves into a paid dating and chatting service. This video-message were broadcasted on national television regularly for moths and years. Due to the nature of the place and context in which this video-interview were shot, interviewed people were often deafened by the loud music, or drunk, or simply typical disco-douchebags, and their stupidity was kinda entertaining. The interviews always ended with the question "Define Youself in three words" so the answer was, 99% of the times, "SOLARE, PAZZA/O, TRASGRESSIVA/O" in mixed order. This kind of catchphrase took hold with the advent of Facebook, and lot of people trying to be particularly original and unconventional started re-using them. - bezdomnyj82 - - (Edit | Remove)

appello ai redattori, usate una sintassi chiara, e virgolettate le espressioni per metterle in maggiore evidenza. usate parentesi quadre punteggiatura e trattini per creare un effetto glossario.

If any english speaker could come up with a short, nice translation, it would be nice and could be used in the random joke translations - signorn - - (Edit | Remove)
