Nota cultural
In Italian, 'furbo' literally means clever or cunning. But when used ironically among friends (often with 'bravo' or a sarcastic tone), it means the exact opposite — you just did something really dumb. It's gentle teasing, never mean-spirited. Italians love irony, and this is a classic example.
