Of Eric DeLuca
They are not compliments, one the combination of petulant and gossipy, the other indicates someone who is a little senile. In domestic speech they had affectionate overtones. Perchiptola was a lively, inquisitive little girl who cracked unintentionally funny jokes. Her name sounded nice. I never heard from him again. I found it in a 19th century Neapolitan humorous song: A, guitta perchipetola, with the original pejorative sense.
Papurchio was my turn, because he was awkward, shy, imprecise. Perchipetola and papurchio were nicknames that stimulated correction. Said good-naturedly at home and instead as insults outside, they allowed the children to focus on themselves and understand how we were seen by adults. I didn’t feel offended, the tone was joking.
I think I was, if not educated, at least framed by some Neapolitan word. Immersed in thoughts, she mirrored me until I freed myself from it. Si’ nu papurchio: when I used to lose at cards playing broom. So I learned to count cards with the 48 method, starting to win some games. As for perchiptola, today I understand it as a unisex attribute suitable for political figures.
