May 1, 2003 -- A Mafia turncoat told a stunned courtroom yesterday how he gunned down his mob boss - because he was gay. Former DeCavalcante soldier Anthony Capo said the New Jersey-based family - often described as the real-life "Sopranos" - feared they would be the laughing stock of the New York underworld if their acting boss, John "Johnny Boy" D'Amato was outted.

She was jealous...

"She told me John D'Amato and her were going to sex clubs in the city, swapping partners and John was engaging in homosexual activity," he said.

"Nobody's gonna respect us if we have a gay homosexual boss sitting down discussing La Cosa Nostra business,"

Gay homosexuals are the absolute worst kind of homosexuals!

I bet they quit using the phrase, "I gonna have to whack that guy"

[Jaded]

She prolly was humiliated that, never mind.

Whaddaya, a FANOOK? C'mere, I got a present for ya. Va fa napole!!

That may explain a strange new gangland business. For a period in NYC, mafia thugs would break into a very upscale apartment and redocorate the place in muted pastel shades. Police were baffled.

And they didn't use this plot line on "The Sopranos"?

By the way, isn't there a suggestion in "Godfather: Part Three" that one of the mob figures killed there is homosexual?

Nobody's gonna respect us if we have a gay homosexual...

Is there another kind?

I bet "Frankie Fabulous" and Jimmy "The Hairdresser" Vitelli are rethinking their nicknames....

[Mr. Bird]

Best one yet. Outstanding.

Geez, and I expected the mob to be much more PC than this.

What's a Fanook?

[ericthecurdog]

What's a Fanook?

Fanook, or Finook: derived from "finucchiu" or fennel, a derogatory term for homsexual or gay, i.e., people that wiseguys feel nervous around. A "mezzofinook" is half gay, sissy, bi.

MOBSTER SLEEPS WITH THE SWISHES

Priceless title... why change it?

[warchild9]

Can I use this term around my fairly free-thinking Italian in-laws?

"Those concrete overshoes are simply screaming for accessories."

"I made the antique dealer an offer he couldn't refuse."

"Fredo, you broke my heart. Now I'm going to have a good cry watching Oklahoma over a quart of Ben & Jerry's."

"Since when does the 'Kiss of Death' have tongues?"

"Top of the world, Mother!"

"Tonight you sleep with the fishes, b*tch."

...so many punchlines, so little time...

That's funny. I sold my old house to a couple of fags from the city and they ruined the place. It had to be torn down and burned! One of them died of AIDS and then one of them got another partner who choked on his own vomit after a drinking spell. He was a nice man with a bad behavior. My son bought the property our old house was on so now it's safe from deviates.

It's even worse than Uncle Junior eating sushi instead of baccala.
