The Italians have a word for some of y’all…

Post by legato9 »

Umarell (pronounced uma-RELL)

‘"Umarells" are those people, usually retired men, who spend time watching construction works, often holding their hands behind their back, occasionally commenting on what is going on, sometimes trying to tell the workers what to do.”

Just got back from hanging out in Italy with an Italian friend. She introduced me to the Umarells.

We gonna start an Umarell club? Go stand at the MoA site and hassle the workers on how to do their jobs? 😀

(I bought an Umarell statue in Milan to keep me productive.)
