An American-Italian slang word for someone who is Italian (origin:a God Father)- Currently also means any male Italian in a derogatory way. (also refers to Mafia guys) SEE GOOMBA

Funny how Ninetendo uses the term "Goomba" and has an "idiot" bad guy that bounces around.

He's an idiot - yeah, a real goombah!

a) Italian/Sicilian word in NYC's Little Italy used as a synonym for cohort, bodyguard and/or sidekick

c) adj: people who unscrupulously steal money and then dig it.

people like Bernard Madoff, Jacques Chirac, Nicolas Fouquet, Conrad Black, although legendary names among big nick diggers would only be considered a goombah under definiton c) above, since none of them was either Italian or WASP
