It's the sanitized version of vaffanculo (two f by the way), which means something like f*ck you. "Va fa' Napoli" literally is "go to Napoli"and it stands for "go to hell". It's a more 'polite' way to say "vaffanculo" (f*ck you) @bbbeauty you're welcome hahah :D I'm a friends fan and I know that this word came out from Joey.But in fact in Italy we don't use it, we say vaffanculo... That it means "f*ck you" ; "f*ck off"Vafanapoli is like a more polite version, it means "go to Naples" va fa napoli" It's like an italian insult: Go to Naples.Go to Naples it's like Go to hell for an Italian @GabrielHeim wow. Questa mi è nuova. it's a mix between "vaffanculo" (f*ck you) and "napoli" which is a city...but i think joey just invented a new word haha it's just a joke invented, similar to "vaffanculo" but not offensive, and it's mixed with Napoli. questa parola non esiste We don’t use this word. I think in the show they wanted to say f*ck off “vaffanculo” but couldn’t and used a different word, invented, similar in sound to give the idea. It’s also a little bit racist but yeah, who am I to judge 🤷🏼‍♀️ Io sono di Napoli e non ho mai sentito questa parola, penso sia sbagliato Non significa nulla it means "f*ck Naples" Is the polite version of “vaffanculo” (f*ck you). Litterally “va fa napoli —-> go to naples” In fact, a long time ago in Italy, Napoli was a city of the poor. So we said (go to Napoli) to say "you are poor, you goes to Napoli"😉
