dio cane

Traditional way to swear against god, quite common in the north-northeast of Italy.
Literally it means "god is a dog", or "dog god".
It's said that this ancient expression was discovered hundreds years ago in the big venetian province of Bojon, the day that someone pronounced the words: "Veo juro, el xe un càn, eo gò sentìo sbajare"! (I swear, he is a dog! I heard him barking!)

Ma ghea moìto, dio cane?
(would you please be so kind to stop to tease me?)

Ecco, DIO CANE, varda! desso teo ghè roto!
(You should have read the user manual, now you've broken it)

Ma no, dio cane, NO DIO CAN, ste robe no ah!
(It's nice, but I would have done it in another way)

Ciò, dio cane! Vara dove che te meti i piè!
(Mind the gap)

Vorìsito dire che so drio contàrte na baea, dio cane?
(I swear it's true!)

Porco dio cane, verxi sto casso de cesso che so drio cagàrme dosso!
(I need to wash my hands)

Grim Carew

A football player (initially referred to John Carew), who has the unique ability to score a goal at whim, regardless of the skill of the goalkeeper.

1. Shit, we need to score.. give it to Grim Carew!
2. Oh shit, Grim Carew's got the ball near our goal, let's just hope we can equalise if he gets subbed off.
