Today's Parola del Giorno is the adjective, fràdicio,1 which means drenched, dripping or sopping.

It is often used with another adjective to reinforce its meaning, such as, bagnato, to mean soaking/dripping wet or sudato, to mean drenched in sweat.

It is often used with the adjective, ubriaco, to mean smashed, wasted or dead drunk. 

See the adjective used below in its context:

Credo che abbiamo un problema con l'asciugatrice: ieri ho tirato fuori i panni ed erano ancora bagnati fradici.

I think we have a problem with the dryer: I took the clothes out yesterday, and they were still soaking wet.

Note that the stress on this adjective comes at the start of the word!
