3461 Getting me tongue round it.....

Notaio's post has prompted me to ask this question.

...........scugnizzo

Is that a cool word or what?

I've been rolling it round my head (speaking it in the car) & hoping for a chance to use it in conversation!

Is it just me?

[LEFT]My dictionary gives the definition of [B]scugnizzo[/B] as a Neapolitan street urchin.

I'd be careful with that one in any kind of conversation, especially around Napoli, if I were you!

'Scricchiolante' is a word I like the sound of.. to me.. hearing the word spoken explained the meaning.
