How do you feel about the fact that "ciao!" means "slave!" (almost no one who uses the word "ciao" realizes the connection)
I do! And I know that it's a contraction of a phrase meaning literally "I am your slave", but more equivalent to "I remain your humble servant".
Also I'd only use it to say goodbye, only Italians use it to say hello, and you have to feel superior to someone!
