cafone

"Cafone" is an Italian word that has found its way into American English slang. It was originally a neutral Italian word meaning a poor peasant. However, in Italian it evolved to mean an uncouth, boorish, ill-mannered person, and that's also what it means in American English slang.
I was sitting in a quiet corner trying to get my baby to fall asleep, when that cafone came over, cigarette dangling from her mouth, reeking of cologne, carrying a blaring radio, and asked me whether he was my "real son."

Knowing Lisa liked baked goods with apples, I went to the bakery, waited on a long line, and struggled to communicate with a counter person who didn't speak English so tht I could buy her a fresh baked apple-spice muffin. Upon offering it to her, she responded "No thanks, I only eat dutch-apple muffins." "What a cafone," I thought as I walked away.
