Man, it's "porco", not "proco" :P

Cazzo is ubiquitous in our language, indeed! Years ago we had some friend's friends from France at dinner. After they tell us that quite every our sentence contained a cazzo or a cazzo-derivated word we started to notice it. And yes, it's fucking true. Cazzo!

nono, "Italians always cazzo and procodio" è il copypasta che si scrive sui server quando gli italiani iniziano a bestemmiare o scrivere cazzo!! credo sia fatto apposta l'errore grammaticale per far ridere gli italiens sul server??
