Here is another brand new column that we have decided to start here on our blog, to celebrate the funniest and most interesting Sicilian sayings!
Today’s saying is one that you can use whenever you dislike someone, and you want to show your disgust with sicilianity, just to impress them.
Si fussi pani, arristassi diunu.
“If it were bread, I’d be fasting”
So much wisdom in these five words! This saying is used in a derogatory manner to identify a person who is terribly unpleasant to us, so unpleasant in fact, that if he were to magically become bread, you would rather starve than eat him.
Very Sicilian, isn’t it?
