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)

Cankelboot

A cankleboot is a term used to describe the unfortunate effect of ankle boots creating the visual effect of the wearers calf and ankle merging into one cankle. This often occurs when the boot is the right size for the wearers foot but is too small for the wearers calf.

"Omg you can't wear those they are cankelboots" or " Do these look like cankelboots on me?" Or " I feel so self-conscious in my cankelboots'

Cankle Neck

A neck that lacks visual definition of the clavicle and jugular notch separating the neck from the shoulders

I'm not interested in him because his cankle neck is a complete turn off, I like my men to have more defined necklines.
