Italian expression used when people get terribly angry. It literally means «Animal god», but despite seeming more funny rather than violent, it sounds awfully brutal! As all «bestemmie» (i.e. swearing against god), it is more common in Veneto region, North-East of Italy. When pronounced in Venetian dialect it sounds more like «Dio animàe», whereas in Bellunese dialect it is «Dio animàl».
n. The distinctive factors which characterize an individual animal. Akin to personality, it refers to the temperament, lifestyle, and social nature of an animal.
People often refer to their pets or other animals as having "personalities," but animals are not people or persons. "Animality" avoids personification and anthropomorphism, and thus is a more targeted conception of the unique characteristics of individual animals.
