from the Sopranos series, meant to reproduce the sound of "stu cazz" from the Naples dialect when read out loud, originally from the Italian " 'sto cazzo" (
short for "questo cazzo").
Literally "this dick", this term has no relations with other body parts such as balls or anything else "cazzo" only means "dick". Seriously I'
m from
Italy, born here, the other definitions are
pretty dumb.
It's used in Italy mostly as a dumb
joke when one asks a question that implies the other person to ask another one then he replies " 'sto cazzo" to mock the guy.
It's also used as a reply to dumb questions especially when the answer is obvious.
Marco: Hey dude, guess who told me to say
hi to you?
Paolo: who?
Marco: Sto cazzo !! (stugots!!) <<meaning "nobody" in this particular case>>
Marco e Chiara live together:
Chiara: Do you know who ate my
cookies?
Marco: Sto cazzo! <<dumb question, they are the only 2
people living the house, meaning "who the fuck you think it would be other than me, this dick?!" in this particular case>>
