My paninaro dictionary, a useful guide to some of the most common terms:

Like other subcultures Paninari had their own terminologies, most sadly lost to time.

While reading through this it’s easy to note some similarities in the origin for many of the words:

1. Terms derived from TV advertising (for example Calfor being a descaling detergent)

2. Terms derived from technology, thanks to the diffusion of the first computers (“ram” and “floppy”)

3. The excessive use of english or anglicised terms, probably because of the music they listened to. “Everyday” meaning all the time but also blending italian and english together in “arrapation”

4. American cinema’s influence (“Ramboso”)

This is a list of some of the most useful words to know to be able to understand magazines and such from the time.

Paninaro = derived from Panino (sandwich) + aro (-er), so literally means sandwicher. Comes from the fact that they used to hang out at fast food places (like the iconic but now defunct Burghy), that were at the time very new to Italy.

Al brucio = as fast as possible

Amburghese = a “galletto” that always gets rejected by girls

Appiovrare = to pick up a girl like an octopus

Arterio = someone old

Broccolare = trying to pick up someone

Burghino = synonym of paninaro

Calfort = synonym of damn (“what the calfort are you doing?”)

Cifra = literally number, in this case means a lot (ex. I like him a cifra)

Cinese = literally means Chinese, in this case someone left leaning (would never use this one, but included it because it was pretty commonly used)

Cinghio = “tamarro”, someone or something crude

Ciumba = Woh! Good heavens!

Company = like today’s “squad”, a group of friends

Compilation = a group of something cohesive

Cucador = the macho

Cuccare = to win a girl over

Everyday = all the time

Falchettare = “spotting” a girl

Floppy = analogy of flop

Forte = a lot

Fuori di melone = out of your mind

Gallo = literally means rooster, in this case means boy

Gargarozzo/a = throat

Gino = loser

Giusto = literally means right, here used as excellent

Grano = money (literally means grain)

Grippare = to grip

Kiss = well, kiss haha (variants are kissetti, kissettoni, kissettini)

Libidine = pleasure, enjoyment

Mitragliare = to enjoy something (for example sandwiches) with greed or pleasure

Okappa = literally is how you’d reas O.K. in italian (Oh Kappa)

Panozzo = sandwich (derived from panino)

Ram = something to forget (taken from the computer’s RAM)

Ramboso = tough, derived from Rambo (the character)

Randa = derived from randagio meaning stray (in a positive way)

Ruotare = meaning to rotate, used as “to take a motorcycle ride”

Sapiens = parents

Sballo = something fun

Schiaffazzi = slaps

Sfitinzia = a girl

Smerigliare il/la gargarozzo/a = to eat

Squallor = something bad

Tamarro = someone crude, not a paninaro

Tarocco = a fake

Very appreciation = very sexy

Very original = very original haha

It was also common to shorten words, for example “Timbe” meaning Timberland, “Curma” for Courmayeur.
