Olivant, how about the term mingia or minkia. I hear that a lot, even on TV and in movies. Stuff like, Mingia, what a body on her. How does the word translate in English?
Thanks, wil.
It's actually:
Minchia (pronounced "mink-ya"). Minchia is a sicilian word meaning nothing but "c*ck". But yes, Olivant is correct, it is used like "holy cow!" and such.

Olivant thanks that is more or less what I figured. I have asked other Italian speakers and most say it is not a real word.
That might be because it is a stricly Sicilian (or at least southern-Italian) word. It IS the sicilian equivalent to the Italian word "cazzo", although both are probably used in Sicily.
