Literally, in italian, a big squash. Used as slang it means "a useless person." In other
words, all that person is good for is to sit there
like a big squash and get bigger. It can just as easily be derogatory as well as joking.
I was going to get Frank to fix my
Mustang, but then I remembered that as
far as mechanics
go, he's a total googoots (cucuzza).
