Art/Literary - Poetry & Literature | | Italian term or phrase: sgorbietta | I was just wandering if this term has any slang meaning when referred to people, i.e. ah you got me you little sgorbietta. Maybe in a teasing sense as well. I have no text that will help in this case, was just wandering if there is a one term translation for this which is not scrawl or scribble.
Thanks |

| | my little monster/freak | Explanation:
Low confidence level because I suspect there might be better ways to say this, but "sgorbio" is an ugly person, just as a scrawl is ugly writing. Here, it's used in a sort of endearing way because of the "-etta" suffix, so depending on the text it might even be a funny pet name for a loved one.
