Usage Note
Cazzo is a vulgar slang term; it functions as both a noun and an interjection expressing surprise or frustration, roughly equivalent to 'fuck' in English. The phrase che cazzo expresses strong exasperation. Use with extreme caution — it is highly offensive in formal or polite contexts. The diminutive cazzetto is also crude.
Examples
