A real common italian interjection, it literally means "God is a pig".

Mostly used in northern Italy, but known and understood everywhere.
Due to its blasphemic nature, it may be disturbing for some people hearing this, especially Christians. It's not advisable to insert a "porco dio" into a sentence if you don't know well the person who you're talking at.
It has various forms and variations, like "orcoddio", "dio porco", "dio maiale" ecc... and every form is also customizable on your personal preference ("Porco dio bastardo cane e la madonna puttana" is a way stronger and powerful exclamation)
It's an all-round imprecation, usable in almost every sentence you can think about:
1) Expressing annoyance - "Ma porco dio la smetti di scassare i coglioni?" ("Porco dio can you please stop trying to smash my testicles?")
2) Expressing surprise - "Luca porco dio guarda quella che tette!" ("Porco dio Luca did you see that booby girl?")
3) Expressing pain - "Aaaaah! Porco dio che male!" - ("Aaaaah! Porco dio it hurts!")
4) Nothing at all, put into a normal sentence just to let the people around you know who's the real alpha male - "Ciao Enrico come stai, porco dio?" - ("What's up Enrico, porco dio?")

Get the porco dio mug.
A blasphemy, a sentence which heavily insults God, the Virgin Mary, Jesus or whatever divinity you can think about. In spite of what peole may think, a "bestemmia" is almost never meant to be really offensive against God, it's just an interjection.
The motherland of "bestemmie" is the Italian region of Veneto, located in the north-east of the peninsula.
In Veneto is common hearing "bestemmie" also in every sentence said, especially from old people or farmers.
A "bestemmia" could sometimes be badly read from strict Christian people, so it's not advisable to pronunciate a "bestemmia" in front of random people
Porco dio, sto posto ze pien de singani!
"Goddamnit, i have never seen so many gypsies is a single place!"

Dove dio can go messo i ociài?
"Where the fuck did i put my glasses?"

Puttana la madonna varda chea figa che culo che a ga!
"For God's sake, look at that pretty girl and his gorgeous ass!"

Dio cancaro ghea moìto de bestemàre?
"Can you please stop inserting a bestemmia in every sentence?"
