My apologies, I must of overlooked it by mistake.
Yes, it would be funny to watch their facial expression. Who knows may some were probably killed for uttering such name.
But I could picture a scenario of mafia soldiers having a conversation that is taped by the FBI and said tapes being released in court. Then having their mafia boss read in media reports what his unwanted nickname was.
