This is an addition to the previous definition, which is half right. "Gabagool" is slang for "capicola." It is not a mispronunciation, but is instead in Napolitan dialect, which is what the Sopranos and many Italian-Americansuse.
The rule in this dialect is to chop off ending vowels and to voice unvoiced consonants.
Term recently used by Italians to define the "italian-wannabes", people sometimes of Italian origins (mostly Americans) who know nothing about Italy and are arrogant towards the Italians when they try to explain what Italian culture is actually like. The typical "gabagool" does not know how to speak Italian and is deeply convinced that Italians are exactly like television stereotypes.
- That gabagool insulted me when I said him that Lasagna is a type of pasta, not a recipe.
- I met a gabagool who tried to convince me that all Italians are olive skinned.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
