acid indigestion
Southern Italian—American Lingo
So you wanna be a Sopranospeak expert? If you sat down to dine with the Sopranos and discussed Tony's waste management business, or maybe the witness–protection program for one of N.J.'s ten most wanted, chances are you'd soon hear words like goombah, skeevy, and agita tossed around. All of them derive from southern Italian dialect, which tends to make the c a g, and vice versa. Likewise, p tends to become a b and d transmutes into a t sound, and dropping the last letter is very Neapolitan. So goombah linguistically mutates from compare, agita, which means "acid indigestion," originally was spelled acidità, and skeevy comes from schifare, to disgust.
