This is an X rated comment (so don’t read it if you’re under age 17)!
‘Che cavolo vuoi?’ is a more polite form of ‘che cazzo vuoi?’ which is a very vulgar way to show displeasure.
Another common variation of cavolo is ‘incavolata’ which roughly means ‘pissed off’.
Buzzurro and I often translate the vulgar italian curses into English so we sound like innocent babes, when we are really cursing like sailors.
