fancazzista

A fancazzista is a specialist in the art of doing nothing. Fancazzista comes from the Italian root word "cazzo" meaning dick and the common italian expression "Non fare un cazzo" which means doing nothing. The literal word for word translation then would be "Not doing dick"

The word "fancazzista" (related to "fancazzismo" ) is a very peculiar one in Italian: it obviously derive from the expression "fare un cazzo" (i.e.: "do nothing useful", like saying "doing a dick/fuck", as Italians ofte use "cazzo" to swear in place of the more common in English use of "fuck"). So "fare un cazzo" becomes the shorter "fancazzismo" and he who is so addressed will be a "fancazzista" (he who does nothing of any sense, apart from looking after one's dick! ...)
A typical example of such use would - by chance - apply to Richard Gere, right in these days in Italy to mind none of his business ...
Why so? ... He is probaly a finished Hollywood star and since is probably plenty of money and of time to spend (or throw away!!) he's come over to Italy to sponsor some other "fancazzisti", who want to save immigrants just for fun ... They don't give a damm for the thing in itself they just want to be on tha front page of newspapers to appear as "the good ones" that fight the supposed "bad guys" in our government. ... None of his business ... but he pretend to be the Captain Kirk of the situation ... Bullshit!!

Could be translated (almost) literally as "Dontdoshitist". The term is used in Italian to designate a lazy ass who systematically doesn't do shit. The "-ista" ending of the word further implies that a fancazzista believes in *fancazzismo* (Dontdoshit-ism) , the doctrine prescribing people not to do shit.
