 |  So you peeps can understand me... Registered members do not see ads. Register or logon for a better view. Let's start at the beginning. Come stai? Molto bene. Bon giorno. Ciao. Arrivederci . Every Italian from Italy knows these words and every Italian-American should. But what about the goomba speech pattern? Those words and phrases that are a little Italian, a little American, and a little slang. Words every paesano and Bacciagaloop has heard, words we hear on the Sopranos and throughout our Little Italy neighborhoods of New York and New Jersey. This form of language, the "Goomba - Italiano " has been used for generations. It's not gangster slang terms like "whack" or "vig", if that is what you are thinking, nope, this is real guido tawk! The goomba says ciao when he arrives or leaves. He says Madonna Mia anytime emotion is needed in any given situation. Mannaggia, meengya, oofah, and of course, va fongoo can also be used. Capeesh? He uses a mopeen to wipe his hands in the cuchina, gets agita from the gravy, (sauce to the N.J. gang ) and will shkeeve meatballs unless they are homemade from the famiglia. Always foonah your bread in the pot of gravy (sauce) or you will be considered a real coo-gootz or a Mezzo-finookio. There are usually plenty of mamalukes and the girl from the neighborhood with the reputation is a facia-brutta puttana or a schifosa whooer. If you are called cattivo, cabbadost, sfatcheem, stupido or strunz, you are usually a pain in the ass. A crazy diavlo can give you the malokya (evil eye), but that red horn (contra malokya) will protect you if you use it right. Don't forget to always say per favore and grazia and prego. If you are feeling mooshadda or stoonad or mezzo-morto, always head to Nonna's and she will fix you up with a little homemade manicott,cavadell, calamar or some ricotta cheesecake. Mangia some zeppoles, canollis, torrone, struffoli or shfoolyadell. Maybe some pignoli cookies or a little nutella on pannetone. Delizioso! I think I will fix myself a sangweech of cabago, with some proshoot and mozarel' or maybe just a hot slice of peeza.... So salud' if you have any Italian blood in you and if you understood anything written here. If so, you are numero uno and a professore of the goombas. If you don't get any of this, then fa Nabola with the whole thing and you are a disgraziato..... Scuzi me dispiachay, I didn't mean that..... just fugheddabouit!........ |
