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

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.

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"

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!"

"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).
