In Italy one of most common slang words that you would see online is "VOLO" or "STO VOLANDO" which literally translates as "I'm flying" but it has nothing to do with airplanes of flying in general. It's usually used in the same way of the English expression "this is sending me" when someone says something super funny or something makes you laugh in general or it's very entertaining (e.g the dissing between two celebrities). However, in the last few years it's has become very common to use English slang words e.g- (this is so cringe!-> che cringe!). Sometimes though, we "italianize" those words by adding the suffix -are (e.g- to chat-> chattare, to blast-> blastare)
