goombato

A large cuddly male of Hispanic and Italian descent (a.k.a. Mexitalian) that has ties to the mafia but is not in the mafia. Although, he is not a gangster or vato, he may cap your ass if necessary.

"One of my relatives was Italy's second most wanted criminal for organized crime. My family ran that country."

"Aren't you a quarter Mexican too? That would make you a goombato."
