Prolagus commented on the word furbetti del quartierino
Literally, the "sly guys of the slum". This expression, typical of Rome, became quite popular a couple of years ago, when the Italian police recorded it in a wiretapped conversation about a corporate raid (the whole story is rather boring, so blah blah blah). It is now in use to define the duplicity and lack of clearness of politicians.
