spolesti

slang, "spoiled children". Originally used only in Italian-American communities, it entered common usage when made famous in the television drama "La Famiglia" by the character Poppi (grandfather).

  2. I can't wait to mutter "spolesti" under my breath during Wednesday's Parent-Teacher conference.
