A Group of people mostly itillians (I am not racist I am full itillian) who use rackets to sell illegal services such as drugs, boose, prostition, and gambling. The mafia can also pay off cops and citizens. The Mafia has different status from dons and mob bosses to outsiders and assciotes. The mafia was at it's high point earlier in the 1900's. The Mafia would kill or "whack" someone who pays some threat to the family.

refers to a type of organized crime, that originally came out of sicily. mafia stands for mothers and fathers italian organization. It was originally a brotherhood that was formed to protect from those who invaded sicily. In todays sense however, it refers to a crime syndicate, known for their violent and brutal acts of murder and extortion, and basically their involvment in any illegal activities.

Something that is glorified as some glamorous thing, when, in reality, it's really just a bunch of morons who feel that they're so special that, rather than to go school and get an education and a real job, they choose to live an illegal lifestyle that involves murdering people, scamming people, and getting shot in pizza restaurants. The Mafia is basically Italian Bloods/Crips with suits, outdated hair and lots of jewelry.

Mothers and Fathers Italian Association
Originated in Sicily, as a way of protection, when a family went on vacation they would ask their friends to watch their houses etc. once brought to America they used mafia to describe organized crime. its not all just killing like the movies, its more of a close family that will do anything to protect their loved ones, and make some money doing it
the mafia, (only italian mafia because of what it means) all other types are just mobs!
now you know the truth

an organization of criminal practices in order to make money (most commonly associated with Sicilians).
;highly associated with "hip-hop stars" who like to consider themselves "mafioso".. Ex: LiL Kim, 3-6 Mafia ect.. these people also copy the typical italin lifestyle, such as wearing "bling-bling", driving italian cars, wearing Italian made suits (P. Diddy) and frequently refering to the mafia in their lyrics. These people are the opposite of "wiggers".. they are "Nackers".
Check out LiL Kims new cd, La Bella Mafia.. i didnt know she was in the mafia..

It depends how it's used. The Mafia is often assumed to be the italian mafia, but a mafia is any group of people that work together in unpolitical ways.
There are many small mafias popping up around the country
