뜻
Something very strong or reliable.
문화적 배경
Italians take great pride in mechanical engineering (Ferrari, Ducati). Using 'a prova di bomba' for a motor is a high compliment to the 'meccanico' who built it. In Italian culture, the family unit is seen as the ultimate 'a prova di bomba' structure—unbreakable and always reliable in times of crisis. Ironically, Italians often use this phrase to describe 'blindati' (armored) bureaucratic processes that are impossible to change or bypass. Having a 'piano a prova di bomba' is part of making a 'bella figura' (good impression) in professional settings, showing you are prepared for anything.
Keep it Singular
Never say 'a prova di bombe'. Even if you are talking about 100 indestructible phones, it's still 'a prova di bomba'.
Use it for Alibis
In Italian crime shows, you will always hear 'Il mio alibi è a prova di bomba'. It's a classic trope!
