anyone speak italian here?

[imported_squire]

I'm having disputes in paypal with a buyer from ITALY, (non ebay related), and the italian buyer responded with "no fare lo spiritoso"

So far it was a success using babelfish to communicate with this buyer but i'm having trouble translating "no fare lo spiritoso".

What does that mean?

"don't be a smartazz"

Is that really correct? Can anyone confirm?

I just need to know if this is a positive or negative remark. It's in the early stages of the dispute.

What exactly does "have no spirit" mean then? I never heard that expression in english either.

Sure, that would be great. the dispute just started.

"no fare lo spiritoso" sounds like only an italian native speaker will know.

Sort of like "What's cooking" or "What the hell?"

Google conosce tutto (anche se non conoscete Italiano).
