Get a fredoed mug for your brother Bob.
Name applied to the CNN anchor Chris Cuomo, the second son of Mario Cuomo the 52nd Governor of New York.

"Fredo" was wrongly attributed as a derogatory slur by Cuomo after being brutally triggered when called by that name.

Cuomo claimed it was the equivalent of the "N-word" for people of Italian heritage.

In proper application referring to someone as "Fredo" means they are just a dumb ass loser like the Godfather movie character, which is exactly why Chris Cuomo was referred to as Fredo.
"Punk-ass bitches from the Right call me Fredo. My name is Chris Cuomo, I'm an anchor on CNN.

"Fredo is from 'The Godfather,' he was that weak brother and they're using it as an Italian aspersion. It's like the 'n-word' for us."

Get a Fredo mug for your Facebook friend Rihanna.
A term used for a dud in an Italian American family. A self centered person with low intelligence and no job skills. He lacks integrity and loyalty. He is a burden and embarrassment to the family.

If the family owns a business, they invent a meaningless job for him. He is worthless, but they feel responsible for him. If the family has connections or political power, they can get him placed in a meaningless job somewhere else.

The term comes from the character, Fredo Corleone, in The Godfather movies and books.
Joe got another DUI and he can’t keep a job. We will be wiping his ass for the rest of his life. He’s the Fredo of the family.
