Titolo: il pirla

Il pirla era una trottolina, impiegata per un gioco d'azzardo molto
diffuso nel Nord Italia, largamente praticato dai malavitosi (i
"ligeera"). Si trattava di una trappola per gonzi in cui il
malcapitato, adeguatamente illuso con prospettive di laute vincite
("fatto su") si trovava a scommettere somme via via più consistenti e
a seguire ogni volta speranzoso le circonvoluzioni della trottola, fin
quasi ad identificarsi con essa, per poi perdere tutto d'un colpo e
fare appunto, la figura di quello che nel gergo della malavita viene
chiamato, appunto, il pirla.
Pensieri magniloquenti e pessime figure. Vi ricorda qualcuno?

Ricorda te.
Ovviamente a parte "i pensieri", magniloquenti o meno che siano, che è 
difficile rintracciare in quello che scrivi...

Kyle: Okay Ike, you're my little brother, so I have to show you how to
celebrate Hanukkah. This is called a 'Dreidel'. You spin it and see
where it lands, and you sing this song..
I have a little dreidel, I made it out of clay
And when it's dry and ready, with dreidel I shall play.
Oh, Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel, I made you out of clay
Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel, with Dreidel I shall play.
Kyle: Now you try it Ike. Just spin it with your fingers like this..
