Prolagus commented on the word persimmon head
Mi stai facendo la testa a caco!
("You're persimmonizing* my head!")
Used in my hometown as an intensifying form of "you're pestering me", i.e. when someone keeps talking about something unceasingly.
(* We eat them when they are very, very soft.)

Prolagus commented on the word persimmon head
Yes, caco (pl. cachi, pron. kaki) although the formal spelling should be kaki, of course. But you can find caco in dictionaries.
Ok, I'll stop persimmonizing your head now.
