“Accattati un parrapicca”
is a vivid Sicilian saying that literally translates to:
“Buy yourself a ‘parrapicca.’ “
The word ‘parrapicca’ is a made-up, whimsical term—often imagined as a toy or gadget meant to occupy someone who is being overly chatty, meddlesome, or just plain annoying.
This expression is typically used to playfully tell someone to keep themselves busy or, more bluntly, to mind their own business.
It is a humorous and slightly sassy way of saying,
“Go find something to do”
or
“Leave me alone.”
