1. mouse, rat

   Synonym: sorcio

2. (by extension) thief; person acting suspiciously or furtively

Usage notes

• Certain authorities including Umberto Eco, semiotician and author, insist that topo does not differentiate between “mouse” and “rat”:

  Aiuto, un topo! ― Help, a mouse/rat!

• Here topo is ambiguous — it refers to the impression somebody has when a mouse or rat comes along, that is when somebody panics because of seeing the animal.
