What is this italian word/s translate to: Killjew? My spelling is prob wrong but sounds just like killjew cont

I heard this on a football field at practice they were all yelling what sounded like killjew over and over. It was in italian but I do not know many words. Please advise. You can see why it obviously peeked my interest. I am sure it is not the literal but still curious to know translation and orgin if possible,.

Are you sure it was "kill jew" and not perhaps "die jew" which, in Italian, would be, "dai, giu" meaning, basically, "come on, down" (like if someone were doing push-ups or something).

I remember reading somewhere of an American woman at a gym in Italy and the guys kept telling her, "dai, dai" as a way of encouragement... but she thought they were saying "die, die" as in, keep going an kill yourself...

first of all, im just curious to know, did you hear that at a game located in florence? since you put it under the category of florence. i live here, speak the italian fluently and even know the florentine dialect, but ive never heard that. also, in the italian language, all the words usually end up with a vowel at the end, so i cant even determine what it might say. maybe the wild italians were really saying, 'kill [the] jew' hehe..i dont know. .....

im still thinking....

the only thing i can think of so far in words that MIGHT be what your trying to say:

the word 'jew' sounds like the word 'giu' ' in italian which means to go down, to bend down.

im still thinking...!!

um..they might have said, ill give you all the options i can think of:

phrase = the way it sounds = meaning in english
"chi e' giu'?" = kee-eh-jew = who is down?
"chi l'he giu?'" = kee-leh-jew =who is that down there?
(that is more like in florentine dialect accent)

you know what, the only one i can think of is the second one. maybe at the soccer game one was yelling to the other, 'who is down there (at the field)? who is down there (to block the goal)??'

but im 99.9% sure that 'jew' sounds exactly like the word 'giu'' in italian.

hope im right!

No authentic italian words contain the letters K or J!

May be you can explain the situation when you heard it
