Can you lot name some nicknames that they wouldn't dare call them by in person

Off top of my head- Pope (Paulie), the robe (chin), was the ant his nick name or referred to
in derogatory way (spilotro). Cocksucker (Chuckie Merlino).

Yep, all three were correct Bean, his son-in-law, Frank Amato, called Castellano Frank Perdue behind his back and it is alleged that this was one of the reasons why Amato got whacked by the DeMeo crew. Nasabeak (Beak Nose) was the nickname his soldiers gave him according to Mikey Scars..

Yeh I've heard that Paulie's son in law called him Frank Purdue but wasn't there another guy/ or was it the same guy... That Gotti allegedly killed on his first official hit for calling Paul Frank Purdue

Gotti was supposed to have committed his first hit with Joe Watts... If I recall correctly

According to a book by the FBI agent (Roehmer? I think) who pursued Spilotro, he states he gave him the nickname "ant" which was short for "pissant".

I believe it was the Corozzo crew that gave Junior the "Baby Huey" moniker.

Al Capone was Scarface or Cappone (the castrated roaster); Spilotro the Ant; Giovanni Brusca was called ò verru (the pork) and for sure Testa sr dont liked to be called the chicken man; joey d'amico was the mock.

What about Anthony "Gaspipe" Casso? Joseph "Joe Bananas" Bonanno? Didn't they hate their nicknames?

Carmine Persico hated being called "the Snake". He got the nickname apparently for betraying the Gallo crew in the 1960s.

Billy Fingers.

You only called him that if you wanted yours broken wink

All God's children are not beautiful. Most of God's children are, in fact, barely presentable.


I never met anyone who didn't have a very smart child. What happens to these children, you wonder, when they reach adulthood?

For sure Bonanno hated joe banana because a journalist mistake the spelling of his name and of corse Persico hated the Snake even he deserved the nickname for his betrayl.

Any mobster nicknamed baldy, fat, little, or shorty. There's alot of them.

I'm sure Dominic Cefalu doesn't like being called greaseball.

Nicodemo Scarfo did not like being called "Little Nicky" because of his five feet six inch height.
