What is gavone?

"Gavone" is a term that comes from Italian-American slang, particularly from the New York and New Jersey areas. It is derived from the Italian word "cafone," which roughly translates to a peasant or someone who is boorish or uncultured. In Italian-American communities, calling someone a "gavone" typically implies that the person is greedy, rude, or lacking in manners. It can also refer to someone who overindulges or eats gluttonously, often used in a light-hearted or joking way among friends and family.

The term is often used in a colloquial and informal context and might be recognized by those familiar with Italian-American culture or who have watched media depicting this cultural background, such as certain films or TV shows. The usage and interpretation can vary depending on the context and the relationship between the people involved in the conversation.
