V.V.(8) sfacim and sewer stories

[George Kolliopoulos]

An italian friend of mine who lives in Naples, when asked, told me that the
meaning of Sfacim in Napolitan slang is closer to "asshole" and "fucker"
than to "semen" or "shit". Of course, the exact meaning of a word in slang
cannot be easily defined.
