ciao 

an italian loan word meaning goodbye. if said by anyone who isn't from italy, it actually means, i think i'm better than you and act pretentious all the time because i think i'm much more interesting than i am. it usually is an invitation to punch them in the face before they leave so long as it isn't used ironically.

oh, i forwarded you the MOST interesting article from the latest issue of harper's. Gotta run, i'm late for my book club. ciao.

ciao 

you fuckers don't know shit so shut the hell up and listen: ciao comes from and ancient word in the medieval venice dialect originally meaning "slave of". So it was used for a long time to geeetings salves when they were walking around the city freely, after being released from their owner. the word lost its original meaning and now is used everywhere to say BOTH hello and GOODBYE. is not only hi, and is not only goodbye. Is not really fancy, since it the most popular word in italy and its really informal: you can't say ciao to your professor or your boss, but you can say "ciao 'pa" to your dad or you can say "ciao vez" to your good ol buddy. Ciao also means " whaterver". If you are talkin with a guy and is not getting the point you can end the conversation sayin: " vabbeh, ciao allora" and that's kinda retarded.

1)---"ciao vez! " "bella vez come stai?" wassup man!, hey how are you dude?
2) "ieri ero con questa tipa e me la stavo quasi per scopare, poi però stava per arrivare suo babbo e sono dovuto scappare dio casa..."
"come?"
" vabbeh è la 4a volta che te lo rispiego, CIAOOOO!"
yesterday i was tryin to bang this chick, but then her daddy came home and i had to leave" "what? How?" "are you stupid? i've been telling ya for 4 times.. whaterver, ciao"

ciao 

An attitude used in dating life, when the person you are talking to on a dating app might seem interesting and likeable at first, but clearly lacks any form of human decency or respect, e.g. by repeatedly canceling plans for a date at the very last minute, and therefor is not worth any of your time and effort. Fun fact: the word 'ciao' in Italian means both 'hello' and 'goodbye'.

"This guy just asked if I want to grab a drink tonight, and now texts me he can't make it all of a sudden. That's the second time already! Baby, you blew your chance, ciao!"

ciao 

To have honest belief in an obvious mistake

"How do you spell ciao? (C-I-O) as in at the end of an email" "do you mean ciao (chow)?"

"I think I'm having a stroke" whilst holding your heart

Using the hard shoulder on a motorway, believing it is a lane (action ciao).

ciao 

A mispronounced variation of "Ciao" meant to signify and call attention to open act of defiance or an insult. Very much like snap.

Origin: Resulted from the time a friend of mine, Tommy X from www.theslackpack.com, mispronounced it in front of a resturant called "Ciao, Baby". When the pompous resturant patrons decided to act pretentious and correct him, he defiantly mispronounced the word again in order to stick it to them! Ever since, the word has spread like wildfire throughout Long Island and parts of NYC. Spread the word!!! Ciao, baby!!!

1. "That girl just rejected you? Ciao, baby!!!"

2. "I'm not fired, I quit! Ciao, baby!"

3. "Told you Elijah Wood was in Back to the Future Part II! Ciao!!!"
