I hope I won't be censored

'azz is short/nicer for "cazzo", which literally means dick, but we use it as an exclamation more or less like the English use "shit!".

ciao

The above mentioned exclamation/interjection:

• cannot be considered an Italian word
• comes from the South, especially Neapolitan dialect

You can infer from Morgana's post that it is not something polite, I mean not acceptable everywhere or suitable for any occasion.
