VLVL2 (9): Fishface

[Tim Strzechowski]

139.30   "Ufa, mi tratt' a pesci in faccia [...]"

"Yuk! It's like getting a fish in the face!"  (translated by the inimitable Nancy G. Ratched)
 
According to a friend born and raised in Italy, "to have a 'fish in the face' means to be treated with contempt."


Any Italian listers out there who might care to elaborate?
