Titolo: Feck it, pimp my ride

Come si traducono le parole in oggetto? Nel mio vocabolario feck indica 
energia,vigore. Quindi feck it che significa energizzalo?! E poi pimp my 
ride, il titolo di un programma che danno su MTV, letteralmente il mio 
vocabolario traduce arruffiana la mia cavalcata !!!

non esiste in italiano... anche perché se dio vuole certe tamarrate non si 
fanno qui! ;)
quindi per come ho scritto: "tamarrare la macchina"
truccare/taroccare mi sembrano piů legati al motore qui invece si parla di 
estetica
ci vorrebbe un sinonimo giovanile per macchina, ma io non ne conosco. 

 ci vorrebbe un sinonimo giovanile per macchina, ma io non ne conosco. 
quindi pimp = tamarro?
scusa ma non sono sicuro d avere 
capito.in
 effetti ho visto il programma 
una volta (a uno hanno trasformato un vecchio pick up giallo vomitino in 
una specie d camper blu elettrico pieni d subwoofer e casse varie...)e 
tamarro c può stare.
c sono altre traduzioni per tamarro?
ho provato a guardare alcuni dizionari ma non lo trovano.
anche per pimp danno solo il senso d "protettore/sfruttatore (d 
prostitute)" o di "colui che procura partner sessuali ad altri".
però ora che c penso durante la putnata che ho visto la "vittima" diceva 
che il suo vecchio pick up in pratica gli "scacciava" le ragazze.
allora si potrebbe dire "pimp my ride" = "fa che la mia macchina mi 
riempia di belle donzelle"? :-)

 prostitute)" o di "colui che procura partner sessuali ad altri".
Si', pimp e' pappone, sostanzialmente. Ma credo che siano quei papponi 
estremamente truzzi che si vedono nei film (o nei video rap), e quindi 
finisca anche per voler dire quello :-) Pero' e' una mia personale 
teoria, "pimp" e' una parola molto usata negli ultimi anni, ma prima non 
l'avevo mai sentita, chissa' se e' un neologismo o se e' solo una moda 
ora.. (o se semplicemente non c'ero mai incappato io).

In the US, pimps are known for driving extravagant, expensive,
ostentatious, original automobiles.

"To 'pimp' my ride" means, more or less, "to rebuild my car so that it
stands out in the same way that a pimp's car would stand out".

Ciao e tutti
"Feck" is mostly an Irish (Irlandese) expression; sometimes used in 
Scotland too, so it may be of Gaelic language origin.
It is MUCH less rude than F*ck. It is transmitted on the BBC. It has 
become popular in the UK with the huge success of an Irish comedy series 
called "Father Ted" which is about two young priests on a small Irish 
Island. It is very funny & VERY irreverent about the Catholic Church!
Anyway "Feck" appears to actually mean Big or large. It can also be used 
in place of the profanity F*ck. As in 
"A fecking great eejit" (a great Idiot)
or 
"Feck off!" (approx. to "caz*o fai!")
Although caz*o does not appear (to me anyway) to be very offensive in 
Italy these days?
If there is a stronger expletive I would really like to know it ;o). 
I do so want to be able to curse competently in Italiano.

Well, I guess that to be stronger than that you have to move into *real* 
curses, cursing the name of God and similar stuff :-)

"If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour, 
you're gonna see some serious shit!" 

"to pimp" has been used widely also by the computer modding
community... See for example 
http://www.pimpedoutcases.net
.
To what extent this has contributed to the spread of the word, I cannot
say, but it sure is an indicator.

Chris:
"c*zzo" is rude enough that you don't say it in front of your kids or
your parents, or that you don't say "che c*zzo fai?" to a colleague
you're not familiar with. However, it definitely can happen that
someone says it on TV, and it most definitely is a frequent swear word.
I think it is more or less equivalent on the rudeness scale to "sh*t".
In any case, it's very much a matter of usage.... as an anatomical
part, it's incredibly rude. But if you say to someone "sei un c*zzone",
it's almost a compliment [*almost*] ;)
You _really_ want to learn swear words in Italian? Mind you, we have
some _very_ original swears round here... And they do change over the
territory, so it can be a lengthy subject...
In any case, this gives me the idea to run a special "swear week" on my
site sometime in the future - I'm accepting requsts ;)
Bye

In Italia, ironia della sorte, si usa un altro termine inglese quando si 
parla di modificare la macchina: tuning...

Well, not here, I'll bet it's regional :-) Here it means "you're a 
dork", even though I'm not sure about the level of rudeness of "dork".

"Well I jumped into the river too many times to make it home" 

Is there an objective rudeness scale? Something you can actually
_measure_ bad words with?
Maybe we should create one...
