Ciao was originally an Italian word meaning 'hello' or 'goodbye', but culturally diffused into various European nations with Romance languages. In the United States, it is commonly used by Spanish-speakers and French-speakers, in addition to Italian-speakers. When "ciao" is used by Americans, instead of looking sophisticated, they look like retards. So, if you're American.... just don't say it. Urban Dictionary

An italian loan word meaning goodbye. if said by anyone who isn't from italy, it actually means, i think i'm better than you and act pretentious all the time because i think i'm much more interesting than i am. it usually is an invitation to punch them in the face before they leave so long as it isn't used ironically. Urban Dictionary

You fuckers don't know shit so shut the hell up and listen: ciao comes from and ancient word in the medieval venice dialect originally meaning "slave of". So it was used for a long time to geeetings salves when they were walking around the city freely, after being released from their owner. the word lost its original meaning and now is used everywhere to say BOTH hello and GOODBYE. is not only hi, and is not only goodbye. Is not really fancy, since it the most popular word in italy and its really informal: you can't say ciao to your professor or your boss, but you can say "ciao 'pa" to your dad or you can say "ciao vez" to your good ol buddy. Ciao also means " whaterver". If you are talkin with a guy and is not getting the point you can end the conversation sayin: " vabbeh, ciao allora" and that's kinda retarded. Urban Dictionary

An attitude used in dating life, when the person you are talking to on a dating app might seem interesting and likeable at first, but clearly lacks any form of human decency or respect, e.g. by repeatedly canceling plans for a date at the very last minute, and therefor is not worth any of your time and effort. Fun fact: the word 'ciao' in Italian means both 'hello' and 'goodbye'. Urban Dictionary
