Usage Note
Parolaccia is an augmentative-pejorative of parola ('word'), built with the suffix -accia. The plural is parolacce, and Italians use it freely in informal speech to describe profanity without actually saying it — 'ha detto una parolaccia' means someone swore.
Examples
"Non dire parolacce davanti ai bambini."
Natural Translation
Don't say swear words in front of the children.
