A fun thing about being married to an Italian (especially a Sicilian) is learning all the strange idioms. Like 'mannaggia la miseria!' which functions like 'goddamit' but translates as 'damn the miserable!'

I also really love 'che cavolo vuoi' which is used like 'what the hell do you want?' but literally translates as 'what the cabbage do you want?'

(see also: col cavolo, which is used similarly to 'fat chance' or 'no way' but literally means 'with cabbage'. It's a softer version of col cazzo which is much ruder)

And of course, the blasphemy. My favourite ones are the pig related phrases. 'Porco miseria', which is 'pig misery'. Then you get the stronger ones: 'porca Madonna' (the Virgin Mary is a pig), and 'porco dio' (God is a pig) as ably demonstrated here by Pingu:pic.twitter.com/Y2Z5athyZX
