Fugazi

Fugazi is a derivation from an Italian word fugazi, "fake". Nothing, it's gone, none existent, no such thing exists

Mark Hanna: It’s all a fugazi. Do you know what fugazi is?
Jordan Belfort: Fugazi, it’s a fake…
Mark Hanna: Yeah, fugazi, fogazi. It’s a wazi, it’s a woozi. It’s…fairy dust. It doesn’t exist, it’s never landed, it is no matter, it’s not on the elemental charge. It’s not fucking real.
Jordan Belfort: Right.
Mark Hanna: Alright?
Jordan Belfort: Right.

Fugazy

Johnny Depp uses this word in the 1997 film Donnie Brasco. But this word was not in the script. "Fugazy" was a name he saw on the side of a work van while on set. He liked the way Fugazi sound and decided to improvise the name into the movie. It is not real Italian or any type of Italian slang.

Fugazi

It is wise guy slang for a fake or a knockoff. It does not come from Italian as far as I know, except that it probably comes from an Italian name (see the following) . It just sounds like the word "fake." It's origin probably comes from the Fugazi Limousine Service which was a company that ran ads constantly on the local New York TV stations in the 70's. Everybody in the NY Tri-state area knew those ads. BTW, it has NOTHING to do with "FUBAR" in meaning or origin.

This guy thought he was buyin' a Rolex, but it was totally fugazi!
