ugatz

"Ugatz" is spelled correctly in the Neapolitan dialect of Italian, "o cazzo." The Italian equivalent is "il cazzo." The masculine definite article "il" in Italian is "o" in Neapolitan, meaning "the."

It literally translates to "cock/penis", but is also used in Italian as the English words "fuck" or "shit."

ITALIAN
"Fatti i cazzi tuoi!"

ENGLISH LITERAL
"Mind your cocks!"

ENGLISH INTERPRETED:
"Mind your fucking shit/business!"
(in this case, "cazzo" is used like "fuck/shit" in English.)

An example of "ugatz" used in Italian-American English would be...

"You said this investment was a sure thing! Now look at my account balance! I've got ugatz here!

In this instance, "cazzo" is used like English's "shit," meaning "nothing." So...

"You said this investment was a sure thing! Now look at my account balance! I've got nothin' here!"

ugatz

Ugatz is derived from the Italian "u casso", literally translated as "this penis". The accompanying gesture involves dramatically lowering both hands, palms flat and facing outward, toward one's crotch. The term is used to signify a challenge to another in a variety of scenarios (see example below).
