Say goodbye…
I was having a facebook chat session with pretty much my favorite man in the world, “Steve”.
And he ended the chat with a statement, a pleasantry, a signature, a farewell, that for once didn’t bother me but that’s cause it fit the conversation we were having.
I hate, loath, cringe when I see or hear the following:
“Ciao”
Seriously, ciao?!
You are picking that to end this conversation?
Ciao!?
* shakes fist at the screen *
I will refuse to contact/reply to guys who put this in their first contact email on any online dating site, or first email/text/call/ask to ask me out. I may stop talking to friends for a minimum of a week if they use it, and have even flat out called people out on it…./slash/ gone ape shit on them.
I don’t know why. But I do know that I find nothing about this word appealing, romantic or ‘international’. It’s just stupid!
Do not ever try to date me if you like using this as your signature on an email, a chat session, or even worse you actually say it to people.
Unless you are Italian (like it’s spoken in your home as a 1st language or you are from there) OR we are actually IN Italy, do not I repeat DO NOT end with a ”ciao” at me!
Ok that is all.
FACT: ‘Steve’ and I were discussing pros and cons of different hotels in Rome for an upcoming trip. Thus it was appropriate.
Bloody hell, I hope you weren’t reading my Winslet Bosom posts. I made this very mistake. Even so, I do agree with you. It’s very pretentious.

…also appropriate when discussing dogs and or cafeteria food.
LOL! Ciao means hi or goodbye in Italian. But the sound of the word (tchau), in portuguese means only goodbye. Took me a while until I got used to my italian friends meeting me and say: Ciao Rachel! I always wanted to leave…
Ciao makes my skin crawl and my ovaries shrink into oblivion, but not as much as LOL.
Auf Wiedersehen, liebling
agreed.
List of words that make my skin crawl:
Ciao
Hubby
preggers
mayo
homosexual
Britney
extramarital
urination
Cheers?
“Steve” sounds like such a douche!
