Definitions by JJJDDD

Ciao was originally an Italian word meaning 'hello' or 'goodbye', but culturally diffused into various European nations with Romance languages.

In the United States, it is commonly used by Spanish-speakers and French-speakers, in addition to Italian-speakers.

When "ciao" is used by Americans, instead of looking sophisticated, they look like retards. So, if you're American.... just don't say it.
Spanish: Bueno, Mamá. Ya me voy. Ciao!
French: Alors, Maman. Je me vais. Ciao!
(OK, Mom. I'm leaving. Bye)

An American saying Ciao: Ciao, darling. I'm a prick because i say 'Ciao' to sound sophisticated
