Fuhgeddaboudit is like if you agree with someone, you know, like "Raquel Welsh is one great piece of ass, fuhgeddaboudit." But then, if you disagree, like "A Lincoln is better than a Cadillac? Fuhgeddaboudit!" you know? But then, it's also like if something's the greatest thing in the world, like "Minga! Those peppers? Fuhgeddaboudit!" But it's also like saying "Go to hell!" too. Like, you know, like "Hey Paulie, you got a one inch pecker?" and Paulie says "Fuhgeddaboudit!" Sometimes it just means forget about it.

While you're at it, how do you pronounce "Kosciuszko"??
You can usually get away with "kosh Tyu shko" except maybe in Greenpoint. "Kozy-oshko" is just not right.
Tadeusz Kościuszko (1746 - 1817) was a national hero of Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, and the United States, who fought in the American War of Independence as a brigadier general, and, as the Supreme Commander of the Polish National Armed Force, led the 1794 uprising bearing his name against Imperial Russia and the Kingdom of Prussia.
