Umarell is the Italian word for retired men who spend their time watching, and sometimes commenting on, construction sites or roadwork.

The word originated in Bologna and in the local dialect umarèl means “little man”. It was coined in 2005 by writer Danilo Masotti.

Segnalo la bellissima opera di #Makkox ieri a #PropagandaLive riguardo al nostro mirabolante Ministro degli esteri andato all'imbarazzante #BoardOfPeace (a fare cosa, non si sa)
