  1. Dass es im Finnischen ein Wort dafür gibt, sich daheim in Unterhose zu betrinken, ist ja ein alter Hut.
    Aber dass das Italienische einen Begriff für Rentner kennt, die den ganzen Tag Baustellen beobachten, war mir neu. #umarell

  2. I was worried about leaving my CI pipelines red over the weekend (I didn't). Then I saw the local construction site's workers left for the week leaving a massive puddle of wet concrete all over the ground (it's fine).

  3. How much does it take to hold one tram junction's worth of overhead line? 9 tons of counterweight per pole, apparently.

  4. Umarell is the Italian word for retired men who spend their time watching, and sometimes commenting on, construction sites or roadwork.

    The word originated in Bologna and in the local dialect umarèl means “little man”. It was coined in 2005 by writer Danilo Masotti.

  5. Segnalo la bellissima opera di #Makkox ieri a #PropagandaLive riguardo al nostro mirabolante Ministro degli esteri andato all'imbarazzante #BoardOfPeace (a fare cosa, non si sa)

    => #Umarell of foreign affairs

    Mai vi fu definizione più azzeccata: quando la #satira compenetra, evidenzia e sublima la realtà

    As one of your bundled $$ users, I'd find it touching if you would plow thru the pedo #Epstein files as your top story...
    Thanks.

  9. #TIL #MotDuJour UMARELL – Vieux qui passe le temps en observant des chantiers de construction ou des travaux routiers, avec les mains jointes dans le dos et en fournissant des conseils non-sollicités sur les travaux. Terme populaire à Bologne, signifiant « petit homme ».

    D’après Wikipédia, après mention du mot par @jastrow et @chaprot

  10. Pur essendo il 1° aprile è effettivamente arrivato il bonifico dell'Inps, per aprile e mesi arretrati arretrati, per cui non si trattava di un 🐟

  11. A friend recently pointed out this fantastic phenomenon:

    "Umarell are men of retirement age who spend their time watching construction sites, especially roadworks – stereotypically with hands clasped behind their back and offering unwanted advice to the workers. Its literal meaning is "little man" (also umaréin). The term is employed as lighthearted mockery or self-deprecation."

    And then today, in Amsterdam, I actually saw one for real! #Umarell

  12. A bit of a shame that i didn’t have time just now to watch the construction site here.

    I really would have liked to see how they stick the batteries into the bottom of a new building.

  13. “To umarell is to take an interest in the built environment – the environment that our species creates, and in which most of us spend most of our time. An umarell turns their attention to that environment's creation, taking time to appreciate the materials, machines, and muscles from which it emerges.” #umarell scopeofwork.net/il-campionato-

  14. #Wikipedia des Tages: #Umarell.

    „Der in Bologna häufig verwendete Begriff bezeichnet Männer im Rentenalter, die dem Treiben auf Baustellen, insbesondere Straßenbaustellen, zuschauen“

  15. Giuliano #Amato ha finalmente ha imparato a memoria il manuale del Fax e gli restava un po' di tempo libero, ma la bocciofila Chigi gli ha trovato una occupazione da #Umarell per osservare dei cantieri virtuali e dire la sua senza alcuna competenza tecnica o esperienza pratica.
