Jansy Mello: You wrote "stillicidio" is used in figurative sense. Could
you please exemplify?
A rough translation from two authoritative Italian dictionaries:
The repetition or oneself's repetition in a continuos, insistent and
monotone way of an action, a fact, an attitude that's annoying,
obnoxious, troubling, eg: Here is he, again, begging for money: such a
stillicide; A stillicide of requests, of complaints.
The continuing repetition of an event, eg: she's ceaselessly phone
calling, what a stillicide!
