Ride = car = macchina


Example:             Nice Ride!
                          (Che bella macchina!)



Attenzione: Non si usa sempre

Non si dice:  I need to fix my ride.
                   (Devo riparare la mia macchina)

VIDEO:
gli amici di Steve lo prendano in giro dicendo "Nice Ride" (sarcasticamente)

Oh snap! = wow = schiocco

Oh snap!

Ti usi quando sei sorpreso

Example:

Peter: I just found $100.

Jeff:  Oh snap!


Also for bad news

Peter: I just broke my leg.

Jeff: Oh snap!

X.Y.Z. = Examine Your Zipper Your fly is down = hai la patta aperta

X.Y.Z. =Your fly is down = hai la patta aperta

X. Y. Z. = Examine Your Zipper
xyz = controlla la tua patta

Other ways to say it:

Your barn door is open
La porta della stalla è aperta.

Or...
Your flag is at half mast

La bandiera è a mezz'asta

Gross! =  Che Schifo!
Warning...very gross picture.


Originally, Gross meant "big" or "large".  But for the last 40 years (at least) gross has meant Disgusting.

If something makes you want to vomit (throw-up, puke, spew, blow chunks, barf) the you call it "gross"






Conversation Example:

Bob: I ate some used gum I found on the side walk.
     Ho mangiato dello chewing gum trovato per strada.
Jack:  Gross Bob!
 Che Schifo Bob!
     

Stacie: I stepped in Dog poop!
ho pestato la popo di cane.
Bob:  Eww gross, that stinks.
Che Schifo!  Puzza!


Video Example: An injury can be "gross".  

The following video shows a gross injury.
