I don't get the joke, can you explain it ?
- pmx 6y ago.af can be expanded to "as fuck" - primo as fuck
- lproven 6y agoYes, I understood that, but to this native English speaker, the expanded phrase is meaningless.
- 1123581321 6y agoAF is short for “as fuck,” e.g., “that movie was funny AF” means it was really funny. Primo AF.
- elcomet 6y agoThat's the part I understood, but what does primo mean?
- 1123581321 6y agoIt colloquially means #1 or the best in the US. “Tesla is the primo electric car brand right now.”
- matteocontrini 6y agoIn Italian "primo" means "first", I guess in English it has a similar meaning as well?
- lproven 6y agoEr, no. In English, it does not mean anything at all. "Prime" is the analagous English word, I would think, and it is not a superlative. One would not say "that's prime" of something good, impressive, whatever. "Prime" means: ready; in the thing's initial state; available for immediate use. It also has a meaning in maths, but that's not really relevant.
