skutch

Skutch (rhymes with "butch") is NOT an ebonics word (don't know where they got that idea from) and definitely does NOT mean "slut" or anything like it. It means "pest" and has been used for several generations by Italian-Americans. It comes from the Italian word, "scocciare" (pron. skoh-CHA-reh)which means "to bother or annoy".

"Stop botherin' me, ya skutch!"

sfacim

Also spelled "sfaccim", it literally means "semen" or "jism", (Southern Italian dialectal word) but is also used as an insult, more or less equivalent to "bastard", or "son-of-a bitch", or even "dick-head".

"That Mike is a no-good sfaccim!"
