What does peckerwood mean? Some kind of smart ass ignorant joke? I was warned that there are some smart ass ignorant New York loud mouth people on this blog who immediately start name calling the minute you try to educate them on something their New York mind can't comprehend about the differences between the Structure of Chicago and New York and the different terminologies used. If it makes every body happy. Ivy and anyone else id right . The New York 5 Families are extremely powerful and are way bigger than the little weak Outfit who have only 10 made members. You're right. No problem
