The Slippery Slope
I could be wrong here, but I've seen it spelled "ba fangool", and been told it means "go f*** yourself". Someone else told me it means simply "f*** you"

It also comes up in GF I, during the big dish throwing fight between Carlo and Connie. I may have this backwards, but I think Carlo says it to Connie, and then she says "Oh, ba fangool you". It might have been the other way around; I'm not sure.

I'm not Italian, so correct me if I'm wrong, but it's pronounced "ba fangool" but I think it's spelled "vaffanculo," which means "go to your asshole," or "go f*ck yourself"

However it's spelled or pronounced, it means just what everyone said: "go f*** yourself!"
Derivation is from "a tan cul," or "up your ass." If my paisani here will forgive me for repeating a story I posted earlier:
I used to work for a very large corporation that had extensive grounds at their HQ location. They built a bocce court for employees to use on lunch hour. A league formed, and the finalists were a team of WASP middle managers vs a team of Italian-born groundskeepers. The WASPS won. I was the editor of the company newspaper and we had a column that included news of clubs that the company sponsored, including the bocce league. The captain of the WASP bocce team sent me a blurb on their victory. He called his team the "Fun Ghouls." I had to call this guy and tell him I couldn't run his blurb because his team's name was, in reality, an Italian obscenity that he and his teammates were unaware of. Was his face red!


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.

For a proper spelling of that particular italian "colorful metaphor" see my tag line below
