"Stugots" is actually an Italian American truncated version of the Italian words "QueSTO CAZZo" meaning "this dick".

America got mostly southern Italian immigrants, and in the southern dislects, C often becomes G, and especially in the Neapolitan dialect, the terminal vowel of many words is dropped. In Sicilian, they will soften use the -u at the end of a word instead of standard Italian -o.

So we see words like "Capocollo" become Gapagol' or the famous gabagool

That's literally, you use it as in I dont give a fuck, for example:
>anon zis you know we dont have speed limits in ze autobahns?
>sticazzi, porco dio

"Nun me ne frega u cazz' " is the meaning

me ne frega was used so often here that we now have the regular verb "nefregar", conjugated as any other verb in spanish
another similarity i noticed with italian americans from american media is "busting balls", compare it to "romper las pelotas", do you think the equivalent was said in italy too or is it a coincidence?

>nefregar
That's hilarious.


>do you think the equivalent was said in italy too or is it a coincidence
I don't know honestly

>>213483955
"rompere le palle" is an idiom here, yes

>>213483955
>me ne frega
It means I care
>me ne frego
It means I dont care
