Frignone
Whiner. Cry baby.
Example: ‘Via basta, abbozzala frignone! Un tu sei un bambino, ci dovevi pensare prima di fare tutte queste bischerate!’ (‘Come on, quit it, you cry baby! You aren’t a kid-you should have thought about it before you did all of this stupid stuff!’)
Sbuzzato
Untucked (with your shirt coming out of your pants).
Example: ‘Aspetta mi sistemo un pochino, sono tutto sbuzzato!’ (‘Hold on! Let me get myself together. I’m all untucked!’)
La superbia andò via a cavallo e tornò a piedi e senza una lira
(‘Pride rode away on a horse and came back on foot without a dime.’)
Common expression that wisely invites us to avoid haughtiness and maintain a respectful attitude towards others.
