Meaning of 'Stugots'
Rob
Tony Soprano's boat is named 'The Stugots' ... what does
stugots mean? I've heard it before in other movies such as
Saturday Night Fever, but it was never explained.

The real word is "CAZZO". And the real slang word should be "shtugats"
rather than "stugots".
You people will never understand anything.

Bullshit.
It's a derivation from questo cazzo (literally, this dick), shortened
it becomes stu cazz or stu cazzo (or even u cazz). In NJ (East Coast
in general) Italian slang (with various changes for regional
pronunciation, etc.) it became, stugots.
The phrase is typically used to express defiance ('no fucking way') or
incredulity ('bullshit') or nothingness (' I got dick') but could also
be used with comical undertones in Italy, and is considered vulgar in
most social situations. In the US it has lost most of its association
with impropriety through common usage.

I stand by what I wrote.
The term is derived from "kishte kaz" (my rendition of the Neapolitan
("Napolitopoli", as AJ once stated) slang, not the standard Italian "questo
cazzo"). Thus, SHTUGATS.
Although most people believe that a cazzo is a "dick" and palle are "balls",
cazzo has come to mean the entire genital area.
And as for you - SHTUGATS! (These genitals)

Hardly! The poster asked specifically asked about Tony Soprano's (not
Jacques Chrétien's) use of Italian. When did Tony and gang move to
Montreal? Your alleged "accuracy" using "Montreal Italian" is of no
value in the context of the question. Also, my Italian is from
Italy, with no generational loss.

Then you stand as a self-contradictory imbecile.

You wrote "CAZZO". Now you say it's something else. At least try to
keep your story straight. No, it is not. It's Stu Cazz, New
Jersey-ized (East Coast, USA). And, AJ said, "naboli-daboli," you
utter simpleton.
>Although most people believe that a cazzo is a "dick" and palle are "balls",

il Raggazzini (Zanichelli) terza edizione, Dizionario
Italiano/Inglese: Cazzo(volg.) M, cock; dick; prick; pecker (USA).
While cazzo is balls, prick or the entire male genitalia in Italian,
most often when used in context, the translation would be cock or dick
in American English.
Tony is undeniably an American, despite his rants to the contrary.
>And as for you - SHTUGATS! (These genitals)
Vaffanculo, faccia di cazzo (or as Artie said to Jean-Phillipe, "Frog
eatin', fuckin' faccia di gots").

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.

That would be "Jean" not "Jacques". Scemo!
My neighbourhood was full of Italians from Naples. Napolitan' as we say.
We look askance at our assimilated cugini in Joisey. They are so American'.
Why, they even change their names - to CHASE!

Err, sorry to disappoint you, especially while you are being so very
clever and displaying your impressive intelligence, but Systran is the
software behind AltaVista (Bablefish).
It's absolutely clear; you struggle to understand languages and

Yes, it is, as a matter of fact.

However the sopranos have enjoyed credit for making up a word that was. very much used in 1974, in GODFATHER II. In. The scene of Vito talking to landlord for the old lady
being evicted for having a dog. Next day he gives him his money back
And re ruces her rent. The day before he says stugots to Michael twice.

It can also mean "nothing" as in, it's nothing, or I have nothing.
Sometimes, it's usage (as in the case of Tony's boat name), it leaves you to determine which is intended.
Sarcasm either way though.
this big boat? ah, it's nothing.
