Moist
I think that word has been mentioned at least twice here. I guess more than a few saw the flick 'throw momma from the train,' ie 'the night was moist...' lol. crisscross!

Pretty sure "stunad" is an adjective not a noun

I think my favorite Italian slang is oobatz

I think it's Jewish slang, because of the sound of it and because I got it from my grandfather who grew up in Brooklyn during the Depression and worked when he could by NYU and the lower east side of Manhattan as a kid, but I always loved "shluck"
You're probably right about Stunad. My exposure to Italian slang is with my wife's family (RI not NYC). I just sit back and grin and never imitate.

Another of my favorites is "Mamaluke". (sp?) Don't know what it means but I like it.

In line with stunad and jambroni, chooch was my Dad's favorite word for me and my brothers.

I was listening to the Christmas favorite, Dominick The Donkey a few years ago I realized that my Dad was calling us a jackass!

I always liked pendulum. Where does the "j" sound come from?
I can honestly say I've never heard anyone pronounce it with a J (soft G?) sound.

Same place as "d'jeet yet"?
Old Joey Bishop routine on J really being the most common letter in the alphabet.
"Jeet jet?"
"No. Ju?"
"Jusminigo."
"Wuhdjav?"
"Justinornj."

Sam Hill

Once shared a hospital room with a wonderful elderly black minister by the name of Samuel Hill. He would get incensed whenever anyone called him Sam, entirely because of the expression "Sam Hill", which he held was a euphemism for Satan's Hell, and that would be vile and the equivalent of calling on the devil.

With my dad, it was Jamoke. Basically, he used it to reference working stiffs with more muscles than brains.

I'm married to an Italian. I've heard the word stunad a million times!

There are many fatuous posts on this board.

I'm not insinuating this post, just using the word. :)
Much prefer the longer version of that word -- fatuitous

Not sure if it's already been mentioned but, CROMULENT is an embiggening word.

Honestly “jabroni” has always been something I’ve loved, even just the way it comes out of your mouth

My Dad also used jamoke. And I think he said “jaboni” when he meant “jabroni.” As I have mentioned before, he has ninja-level mispronunciation skills, the prime example being calling Boatright “Brightboat,” which my brothers and I have adopted.
