Usage notes
- Very vulgar. Avoid in formal situations, with strangers, or in professional settings.
- Often works as an intensifier in fixed phrases, not just a literal noun; learners should not overuse it word-for-word from English swearing.
- In non-literal uses, it commonly appears with fare: non me ne frega un cazzo, che cazzo fai?, non capisco un cazzo.
