A Sicilian - Turkish connection :)

Sicilian word 'sceccu' means donkey.

Pronunciation=>ˈʃɛk.ku
Okunuşu: şekku



It is used for the people who were not good at school or ignorant.

It is derived from Turkish eşek, meaning donkey.
Turks use it for the people who are not clever.

There is a superlative form eşşoğleşşek in Turkish, meaning simply idiot.
