figa!
🇮🇹 Italian slang from Milan
What does “figa!” mean?
damn!; wow!
Example
“Figa, che freddo stamattina!”
Damn, it's cold this morning!
Good to know
Vulgar (literally female genitals), but in Milan an all-purpose exclamation or filler. Avoid in polite company.
Who you can say it to

The textbook way to say it: Caspita!

Moving day, fifth floor, no lift
Irene Sei un mito! Però ti avviso: quinto piano, senza ascensore. Uno sbatti.
You're a legend! But I'm warning you: fifth floor, no lift. A real hassle.
Stefano Figa, il quinto piano?! Mi devi una cena, minimo.
Damn, the fifth floor?! You owe me a dinner, at least.
Irene Promesso. E la sciura del piano di sotto ha già detto che il furgone lì non può stare.
Promise. And the posh lady downstairs has already said the van can't stay there.
