When I was studying in Torino, I was set up by my "friends" on a blind date in the poly canteen. The young ladies opening complete sentence to me was "Do you touch your balls often?" Taken slightly aback as I'm Irish I replied "eh, well , eh, hmmmm why?" She explained it was for good luck so I replied "do you need good luck so?"

[@ClaraBeggins]

I'm italian and I need to clarify a thing: the ball grasp is for yourself only, you don't do it for others. It has the same meaning as throwing salt at the back of your shoulders or touching steel when someone says something that could bring bad luck. When you want to wish good luck to someone else you do this: 🤞🏻 AND I never heard someone cat calling in that way! Wtf is that "robotic" verse?? I mean I always enjoy video of people of other countries talking about Italy, even when they laugh at some true stereotypes, but...I mean...this is all wrong and plain rude...

Danni boy is hilarious, but bill hicks is still the best rip bill,died way too young

[@PaolaV1984]

I'm Italian and it's not exactly as it says in this video. It is a superstitious gesture. It is not used to wish others good luck. In some cases, such a gesture is interpreted as an insult. Attention! Don't do it like this guy in the video does. Sorry for Google translate

[@viseiro]

Just humour

[@xTighNaBein]

Its just a bit of fun, dont take it literally . Give the rest of us a break and a bit of fun. Pedantic is not nice.

[@PaolaV1984]

@@xTighNaBein I understand that it is humor, what I mean is that it could happen that someone does this gesture out of humor, but it is taken as an insult. In some areas of Italy, a glance is enough to create misunderstandings. Let alone a similar gesture

@@PaolaV1984 so much for free speech, which is disappearing fast, I suppose I have to apologise for my comment.

[@kwanarchive]

@@xTighNaBein They didn't say he wasn't allowed to make the joke. They were just clarifying what the gesture actually means, and warning people not to do it in Italy. Don't be such a snowflake when someone else exercises their free speech to provide an explanation.
