Random Fun Poll: Meaning of the word "fugazzi"

I've heard so many people interpret this word in a way that is just incorrect, IMO. People are starting to use it like "f--k", just to mean anything they want.

What do you interpret it to mean?

My sister and her friends think it mean "gay"

as in, "With the way he dresses, I think he's a fugazzi"

I am like WHAT are you talking about? Is he a Folex?

ETA: I've also heard people use it to just mean general dislike, like bad... like a jerk or something Chat Icon

I used it almost like "crooked"....not straight (as in orientation or as in not on the books) - I'm from B'Hurst...hear it left and right in so many ways...

The contractor is a bit fugazzi...took my money and didn't finish the job.
-or-
That guy's walk is a bit fugazzi.

Re: Random Fun Poll: Meaning of the word "fugazzi"

I have a cool book "New Yawk Tawk" that defines NY slang terms. I originally bought it for my old physical therapist who was from Poland and really wanted to learn to speak like a "real NYer" he would pracctice ssaying "Fuhgeddaboutiut" and "Get the hell out of here" and "yo"

it was really funny
