lets get people (north americans) to learn how to correctly use the words we already have first! too many cant even use small ones correctly, let alone big ones (like "epicenter" - one of my pet peeves). the less precise we are in using our words to express things, the less precisely we understand each other and the less likely we are to solve problems together. we dont need more overblown words to make it worse . . . "well only get through this if we work together. if we dont, none of us will"

I always thought fugazi was an Italian slang. Wordnik adj. Fucked up; broken, damaged beyond repair. Urban Dictionary fake, false Hip Wiki Fugazi(Sometimes spelled Fugazy) is often used as a slang term that means fake, phony. The term is often used to refer to someone who may act tough, but in reality is just playing the part and if confronted will cower in fear. This word is believed to have been an Italian slang which made its way in the US. This word is often used in songs to describe individuals who are claiming to be gangsters but don’t really live the gangster life, and also to describe items that are fake. In Future’s song ‘Magic’ he says “Excuse me but my lingo crazy - See these diamonds ain't none of 'em fugazi”, Future is saying his diamonds are real and not fake(fugazi). In SD’s song “Re-Up” he says “And You Fugazy Ass N*ggas Your Whole Squad Want To Be Me”, SD is saying that those fake guys’ squad want to be him. Rapper Fredo Santana has a song out titled “Fugazy”, the word here is spelled a little different than it normally is, but it means the same thing(fake). In the song, Fredo Santana says “You Ain't A Real N*gga, You Fugazy - Got Damn You So Fugazy - Your Whole Clique Fugazy - Stop Lying Boy You Fugazy”, Fredo is saying the dude is not a real gangster, he’s fake(fugazy).
