Today's Parola del Giorno is the verb expression, fare lo gnorri, which means to play dumb. 

Lo gnorri is an invariable noun and comes from the verb, ignorare; it is almost always used with this expression:

Quando chiedo a mio nipote di sei anni se è lui a nascondermi le chiavi di casa, lui nega sempre e fa lo gnorri. Ma io so per certo che è lui che mi fa questo scherzo!

When I ask my six year old nephew if he is the one hiding my house keys, he always denies it and plays dumb. But I know for sure that he is the one playing this joke on me.
