The boat's name is "stugats." It was shown several times. Any Italian
translators here?

stugots, stugats: the name of Tony Sopranos boat means "this dick" in
English. And not only that, it's southern Italian dialect. The original
term is 'STU CAZZO; 'stu means "this" as in "questo". Cazzo means prick. So
taken together it's obscene. Believe it or not, it goes from QUESTO CAZZO
in standard Italian to 'STUGOTS in southern Italian-American Brooklynese.
There seems to be unending appeal with this word, as witnessed by the many
different message threads on the Italian language forums such as I would
like to know what stu gotz means in Italian slang and I still don't
understand the expression "stu gazz".

Stugots is an americanized bastardization of:

es tu cozzo

rough translation: its your dick

luca
