In some parts of Italy, "ugaz" (pronounced "oogats") means "f*** you." The full expression is "ugaz a tan cul," meaning "f*** you up your ass." It always has a negative connotation, so everyone's post is right in their own way.
Interesting. Which parts are you talking about? It's most definantely southern italian, but do you know which part?
But still the "ugaz", even though in this case it is a shortening of a longer term, would be a local word for "Il Cazzo". Ugaz a tan cul -> The c*ck up your ass, i.e, f*** you.
You most certainly are correct about this Mr Turnbull, that's not what I'm saying. I'm just clarifying the word Ugaz.
