Re: [AsburyPark] Hey Tom, Larry's Got Some Movies For You - Gumba Night

[MarioAPNJ]

Adding to Hinge's findings:   Dan said,    they screwed up GOOMBAH with GUMBA....     This [from "compare"] is first found in the mid 1950s, and seems to have been popularized by Rocky Graziano, the boxer and actor, on NBC's The Martha Raye Show.   Find out who titled it "Gumba Night" and let them have it here and everywhere. Your wrath must fall on whoever is responsible,   Haven't we had enough of his "here, there and everywhere" wrath coming out of the woodwork?   ( The second, and most familiar, sense is 'a mafia boss. The first known use of this sense is in The Godfather: "I don't care how many guinea Mafia goombahs come out of the woodwork." )     Even if it came originally from Partners, don't you think its irresponsible for the City to be repeating it? If they were showing SHAFT and MANDINGO should it be called that horrible "N" word Night?   Although Tommy is "A Pitbull on the Pantleg of Opportunity," he is NOT an equal opportunity critic.   Gee, this right after some councilman ruined Columbus Day for us. What's an Italian-American to do?    This "compare will continue to speak up ("It's America!") when the goombahs give the rest of us a bad name.   References from the "goobah" page at:  The Mavens' Word of the Day     Cordiali saluti,         __._,_.___ SPONSORED LINKS Asbury park nj real estate United state flag Asbury park nj Asbury park real estate United state travel Your email settings: Individual Email|Traditional Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!
