Romance & Rejection
Flirting, making out ("limonare"), and getting shot down with style (the "due di picche"). This is also where the innocent "figo" family reveals its rude root — "che figa" is a very different, very crude animal. We flag the appreciative from the objectifying so you don't misfire.
