bravi
Hired killers, Italian
Bravi is the Italian plural of bravo, shouted to applaud multiple performers or a mixed-gender group after an exceptional performance: The audience rose to their feet, crying bravi!
In opera houses and concert halls, purists distinguish bravi from brava (for a woman) and bravo (for a man), though bravo often serves for all.
