Goomah — Mistress or girlfriend. It comes from the Italian comare, which means godmother or second mother. In other words, someone who takes care of you.

Yes, Chooch means “a person without common sense” in Italian slang, from the word ciuccio, from which “chooch” is derived. Literally ciuccio is Italian for a pacifier for children.

Goomar (also gooma or comar): Can mean “godmother,” but in “Soprano”-speak is most often used to denote a mistress. Goombah: Linguistically, the male version of goomar. But it almost always refers to an older friend or associate who acts in the role of protector or mentor.

Capocollo (Italian pronunciation: [kapoˈkɔllo]), coppa ([ˈkɔppa]), (in the U.S. gabagool, or capicola) is a traditional Italian and Corsican pork cold cut (salume) made from the dry-cured muscle running from the neck to the fourth or fifth rib of the pork shoulder or neck.

The reason for all this attention is laid out in a curiously fascinating, and frustrating, book called “Goombata,” the plural of a Sicilian slang word that can mean “godfather” or “accomplice” or “old pal.” …

Gabagool is slang for capicola. It is not a mispronunciation, but is instead in Napolitan dialect, which is what the Sopranos and many Italian-Americans use.

Mortadella (Italian pronunciation: [mortaˈdɛlla]) is a large Italian sausage or luncheon meat (salume [saˈluːme]) made of finely hashed or ground heat-cured pork, which incorporates at least 15% small cubes of pork fat (principally the hard fat from the neck of the pig).

shy: the interest charged on loans by loan sharks.

A caporegime or capodecina, usually shortened to capo or informally referred to as “captain”, is a rank used in the Mafia (both the Sicilian Mafia and Italian-American Mafia) for a made member of an Italian crime family who heads a “crew” of soldiers and has major social status and influence in the organization.

Silvio Dante

Tony Soprano was a relatively young man to be a capo at the age of 27. Tony’s transition into captain was aided by the loyalty of Bonpensiero, longtime Soprano soldier Peter Paul “Paulie Walnuts” Gualtieri, and childhood friend Silvio Dante.

Underboss – Also known as the “capo bastone” in some criminal organizations, this individual is the second-in-command. The boss, underboss, and consigliere constitute the “Administration.” The consigliere is third ranked in the hierarchy but generally does not have capos or soldiers working directly for him.

Today, the American Mafia cooperates in various criminal activities with Italian organized crime groups, such as the Sicilian Mafia, the Camorra of Naples and the ‘Ndrangheta of Calabria. The Italian-American Mafia has long dominated organized crime in the United States.

Zoller Seitz then chimed in to point out that Chase had just referred to the infamous final scene as a “death scene” – seeming to confirm that Tony does die.

There’s a hefty dose of fatalism running through The Sopranos. Things that happen here tug on webs that go back to before the series began. The reason Adriana dies is because she tries to get Christopher to turn on Tony, and he goes to Tony instead. The reason she needs to do that is because the FBI threatens her.

The hit was ordered as retribution for the savage unprovoked beating of Bryan Spatafore, brother of Vito Spatafore. Bobby Sr. died after losing control of his car and crashing into a signpost while leaving the scene of the Mustang Sally hit, which Bobby found very distressing.

Unlike his compatriot Silvio Dante, who at episode’s end last night was still breathing — if unlikely ever to awaken — Robert Baccalieri Jr., a.k.a. Bobby Bacala, was shot to death last night on The Sopranos, whacked by two hit men doing the bidding of New York capo Phil Leotardo.

His loyalty to his crime family turns out to be greater than his love for Adriana, and he reveals her status as an informant to Tony. Realizing what is about to happen, a terrified Adriana tries to flee, but Silvio drags her from the car and shoots her dead.

Deceased. Christopher Moltisanti: seriously injured in a car crash and then murdered by suffocation by Tony by squeezing his nose shut when he was gasping for air; he dies after choking on his own blood pouring down his airways.

Season four. To protect himself from prosecution, Tony makes Chris the main contact in criminal dealings. He then bonds his nephew to him by having him murder the recently retired Lieutenant Detective Barry Haydu, after telling Chris that Haydu had murdered his father.

Synopsis. Johnny is transferred to a prison hospital after being diagnosed with small-cell lung cancer. He dies with his wife and two daughters at his bedside.

Mikey is killed as a result of the war between Tony and Junior when he is executed by Chris and Paulie Gualtieri. The sequence is fantastic: an on-foot chase scene through the woods, two gun-toting mobsters pursuing a third, all three fittingly wearing tracksuits. Jersey City, New Jersey.

(It’s repeated Saturday at 9:35 p.m.) They fought because Tony thought Ralph torched the stable that killed the racehorse the two briefly owned together. “I was told by [creator] David Chase I didn’t kill the horse,” Pantoliano says.

Ralph Cifaretto was a creep, but some fans of The Sopranos are sorry he’s gone. The character, played by Joe Pantoliano, was killed by Tony Soprano in Sunday’s episode, marking the first major violence on the show this season.
