skoozie
How you politely request an Italian to make room for your foam drink-cooler on da table next to his own utensils.
American guest: This table looks fairly small and crowded --- I hesitate to ask anyone to shift his silverware around to accommodate my insulated lemonade-glass.
Italian host: Oh, don't worry about that --- just take any empty seat and quietly say "skoozie" to your seating-neighbor; he'll move aside for you.

Get the skoozie mug.
