Northern Italian: "You lowlife terrone! Go back south!"

Terron is a hard working soul that makes sure he is always on top of his game. They love to play around and are really sweet when then like you. Will do anything for the one he loves. Over protecting and caring but really stubborn and hard headed. If it's not there way they don't want to do it. Big freaks and love to make love. And all around someone you want to keep by your side.

A derogatory term for Italians south of Bologna. Literally translated it means "farmer". Northern Italians use the term with contempt for their uneducated, and cultureless brothers of the south of Italy.
Hey, look at that stupid fuckin calabrese. What a terrone. He should bo back to his farm and harvest his fuckin eggplants.

literally means someone who works on the land (i.e. farmer). Derogatory, used by the pompous people of the Friuli region against any Italian from Rome downwards. "terroni" are the salt of italy's earth. they are the people who give italians a good name abroad. "terroni" (southern italian immigrants) also built new york and fought for the US war efforts in WW2
