Word
indeed often used in tv-series "The Sopranos". It derives from Italian 'questo cazzo', which
literally means 'this dick'. With a neapolitan dialect it is pronounced ''stu cazz'', or stugats. Neapolitans use it when someone is trying to tell or sell them
something worthless (it can also be an indication for fake: a stugats watch). The American use has more facets, for example it can be used as a swearword towards a person.
