Titolo: Scusate !!!!

Scusate l'intromissione, e specialmente la volgarita' di questo mio
messaggio !!!!
Spesso mi chiedo (vedendo dei films americani) come avviene la traduzione di
alcune frasi volgari che vengono usati nei films, Es.
Ma che C.... stai facendo ?
oppure
Ma che C.... vuoi ?
cose del genere...
SCUSATE !!!
SCUSATE !!!SCUSATE !!!SCUSATE !!!SCUSATE !!!SCUSATE !!!SCUSATE !!!SCUSATE

Sebbene non mi piaccia diffondere certe cose, si puň dire, nel senso di "ma
che diavolo...", "what the
heck..." oppure "what the hell..." ; inoltre, in modo molto piů garbato,
"what on earth...".

 Asoka is far too polite and educated to give you an honest answer.
You need someone like me.
Che c..... fai?   =  What the f.... are you doing?
Che c.... vuoi? = What the f.... are you doing?
N.B.  f.... is a 4 letter word in these cases, but can also be used as an
adjective in the -ing form
Get that f....... thing out of here!

Hi Cat,
Sei cosě cortese dire un non-italiano che cosa significa 
"Che c.... fai?"?  Capisco che f... significa "fuck", ma

Grazie in anticipo di an honest answer,

non conosco "c....."
Well Raymot, I've often told you that one of these days I should have talked
you in that bees and flowers story...
Now, that day has come.
C... is one of the two main character in the play titled f...
It is not the flower.
Now, you guess.
Spero di non aver scandalizzato nessuno...

Raymot, everyone here seems to be unable to write that unspeakable word, so
I'll do it!! :-)) The word is "cazzo", and, as you may already know, it's
the Italian for "dick".
I hope no one will blush when reading this post and apologise for being
sorude!!
:-))CiaoKonrad
Thank you.
I'm as repulsed by the gratuitous use of vulgar expressions as anybody,
but, let's face it -- this is a newsgroup about language, and in the
appropriate
context, people should not be afraid of words *per se*.
For example, I'm sure that there are many respectable Italian dictionaries
that
include the word "cazzo". If mine didn't, I would buy a new one.
Isn't it language that we are here to talk about?
Ciao,
Raymot

Sure, and since we're talking about it,
be advised that that one is one of the most used word in colloquial Italian.

Certo che ci sono. Con inclusi tutti i modi per sostituirlo.
Il più frequente è /cavolo che però tradisce il significato originale.
Il più simpatico è /caspiterina, diminutivo di /caspita.
Marge Simpson (che è una donna a modo) esclama molto spesso
"caspiterina" quando s'incavola (o peggio s'incazza). 
Che dice in originale quando s'arrabbia?
PS: Il correttore di Netscape ha accettato tutti questi termini eccetto
/caspiterina. Che non è certo il primo diminutivo che non gli piace.

Dear Raymot,
in case nobody replied you about the "C****" matter, I can satisfy your
curiosity by saying that is what you call "cock", "dick" or "prick". In fact
"C****" is "CAZZO", becoming from the apocopated form of "OCAZZA" (i.e. big
goose), for in popular italian "OCA" (i.e. goose) is another name for male
tool.
