Mussolini actually did the same thing. This led the fascist to come up with a bunch of new words to replace the ones that they had forbidden, often to absurd degrees. Edit #1 with examples: mescita = cafè/bar acquavite = brandy/whisky. tramezzino = sandwich bevanda arlecchina = cocktail torpedone = bus Pellicola = film And a bunch football terms I personally like instead of “gangster” you say “malfattore”, which just sounds very funny.

Edit #2 they also changed famous peoples names For example Louis Armstrong = “Luigi Braccioforte”
