Like many Americans who didn't grow up with the police and search
warrants the way we did girl scouts and cookiescoming to their home, you
may ahve trouble understanding the lingo of The Sopranos.
Help is here faster than you can say RICO statutes.. At The Sopranos
"Mobspeak" Web page, you'll learn the whole family argot, from "Moe
Green Special" (getting killed with a shot in the eye, like the
character, Moe Green, in The Godfather) to the "Vig" (the interest paid
to a loanshark for the loan).to "Spring cleaning" (cleaning up, hiding
or getting rid of evidence). If you don't try it, well, "Buon' anima."
