wow......your looking way to far into this buddy. who cares the point i think that writers were getting at that it is somewhat common knowledge to people who don't study the mob and post on msg boards that mafioso from italy that implanted into america are refered to as zips. it gave the viewers something they could somewhat recoginze on a little bit of a higher level.
If you don`t like the question then just dont respond to it. If u wanna look at it like that then who cares about any of the posts of this sight and Zip means sicilian it`s not a generic term meaning all italian borns the nickname zip comes from the fact that when they speak t, Italian americans cannot understand tHeir fast talking sicilian dialect thus it Zips by them. As for whether it was writer or character ignorance thats all I was asking
