When i joined the family a couple of days later a captain heard me speaking and he pulled me to the side and said "since your in this thing of ours" you should learn how to speak like your in it and he told me a few terms Wiseguy: a made guy Whack: to murder Underboss: the second in command to the boss.
Soldier: the bottom-level member of an organized crime Family, as in "foot soldiers." Rat: one who snitches or squeals after having been pinched. G: a grand; a thousand dollars Don: the head of the Family Cugine: a young soldier striving to be made. Boss: the head of the Family who runs the show. He decides who gets made and who gets whacked. The boss also gets points from all Family business A friend of ours: mob shorthand for introducing one made guy to another made guy. "A friend of mine" is just another jamook on the street. As Frank takes this all in, he tires to remember. when the capo is done. Frank leaves and heads towards the The Players Club |

a wise guy is not a made guy. a made man is a made guy. |

"Wiseguy" is actually slang for a made member of a family. We just twist the meaning here. Remember that the way we do things and the terminology we use does not always reflect on reality. Case in point, the whole "Captain" debacle, which has become a mockery of reality around these parts. |

No,Wise Guys' are the ones who aren't made/Can't be made. GodFellas,Tommy was the only one who could be made,Henry and Jimmy(Jimmy was actually one of Paulie's boss' but yet couldn't be made...:/) were the WiseGuy's who couldn't be made,if you carefully listen to the movie,or read the book,you'll find that out..:) |
