farsi il culo

Today’s Parola del Giorno is the verb expression, farsi il culo, which means to work one’s butt off. You might often hear Italiand use this expression after a long day’s work! See the context below:

Sono arrivato all’ufficio alle sei di mattina. Sono tornato a casa alle 9 di sera. C’erano tante cose da fare, e ho dovuto farmi il culo oggi per finire il progetto.

I arrived at the office at six in the morning. I returned home at nine in the evening. There were so many things to do, and I had to work my butt off today to finish the project.
