Goomba is usually used by a third party in reference to a guy hanging out with the guys. Like a complaining girlfriend or your mother referring to your buddies as “bunch of goombas.”

Don’t take it personal. Just trying to be funny!

No…. I think Dicky5guns might me correct, the original poster may be somewhat autistic.

Jew or Ju is short for uncle Junior The kids seem to enunciate a little better than Tony who pronounces it as Zshu.

Junk has always referred to “Heroin” where I come from. A “Junkie” was not someone addicted to coke… I suppose it could encapsulate all narcotics…. but I doubt it.

Ken,

With respect, Christopher’s last name was Moltisanti, not Soprano, on the show. Just wanted to keep the record straight.

I am in love with “The Sopranos” and have now been reduced to watching them on the A&E Channel—–which leaves out quite a bit. I’m hoping somebody gives me the complete set of DVD’s for Christmas!

Thank you,
Mamietoo

Thx Vinnie. Like I haven’t heard enough of the Italians in the old neighborhood talk.

No, “Goomba” DOES mean friend or buddy. It comes from the Italian word, “compare” (pronounced com-PAR-eh), which means male companion. The slang word for “mistress” is “gooma” or sometimes pronounced “goomadda” which comes from the Italian “comare” (co-MAR-eh) and which means FEMALE companion. So, Dicky5guns, make sure YOU’RE not the retard before you call someone a retard. You retard. Fuggedaboutit.
