Ferri-bottu
Documented word
/fèr·ri·bòt·tu/Noun
- English
- Ferry Boat
- Italiano
- traghetto
Literally, the ferry. Even though it sounds like a loud metal crash (ferro + botto), it's just the boat. Today, it is also hilariously used to describe a loud, rusty, gas-guzzling old car that somehow still runs.
In a sentence
"Ma unni vai cu stu ferri-bòttu?"
"Where are you going with that old bucket car"
Also written
- Ferrubottu
