    If so maybe you could translate something for me? I can't use Google translate since I've no way of knowing the spelling of these phrases.

    Basically, I work with a bunch of Spanish speakers and they all seem to have a nickname for me. They will always call me "Merry Cone" whatever that means. Sometimes it is "Peachy Merry Cone". I figure this refers to some type of ice cream they have in Spain. One day I told them I prefer the orange flavour which they found hilarious. Occasionally they will also call me "Merry Connette".

    Anyway I'm glad I make people laugh and be happy but I'm really curious as to what these phrases mean.

    Your spelling is wrong. They're basically calling you a dickhead

    The OP's obviously having a laugh but I've genuinely been in this situation before.

    Years ago we had two Italian students, but at times it felt like we had the half of Florence in our house because they used to congregate here in their masses some nights, when they weren't in McDonalds or destroying Irish people's experiences on the 46a with their voices.

    My friends and I got quite friendly with them, but one night in my driveway two of them gave me a nickname. For the life of me I can't remember it, but I do remember your man's explanation: 'We call you this because, ay, you are strong-a-like bull.' I thought, 'I'll have that. They're saying I'm strong for some reason, so that's fine'. I'm 13 or 14 at the time so I take things at face value.

    So that's grand anyway, but then a few days later your man who christened me with this name calls me by it in front of another lad who wasn't there for the christening, and he starts laughing. At this point I grow suspicious, so I ask one of our students, a girl, what this word means and she goes, 'it's like, eh, a deek?' Your man was basically calling me a d*ckhead behind my back for a few days.

    F*cking Italians.

    Cornuto?
    Means 'the horned one', and is used to refer to someone who's wife is cheating on him...

    Bastards got the OP banned too. First the annihilation of the Incas, then this.

    No I'd have probably associated that with Cornetto and would have remembered. This is a complete guess but it was something like 'chocho' or something, which sounds more Hispanic to me but I dunno. The bottom line is f*ck Italians.

    Chocho means fanny in Spanish if that's any help.

    Someone above said Testa di cazzo, which means dickhead, but it may just have been Cazzo on its own, is pronounced 'katso' and means dick in Italian

    Perhaps it's Pinche Cabron? I heard the phrase every so often when I lived in southern California.
