Richie: You and that fucking association with that cocksucker Baron wont

Marc : Eh, you gonna go to the club or no?
Mike & Andrew: You fucking stugàts.
I've been curious since the first appearance of the "Stugots I",
about the translation of the word. I grew up near Providence, RI,
and had many eye-talian friends who used that term. I've tried
to find a translation on the net, to no avail. I assume it's a slang
term? Also, would the correct spelling be "stucots"? I know that
many times, for Italian words, a "C" is pronounced like "G".
An Italian american word combining two simple words "Stupid (stu)" and
"Balls (gats)". Often heard on the hit TV show " The Sopranos". Tony uses it
alot in his dialect.
Stugots: from stu cazzo or u' cazzu, the testicles.
An Italian-American corruption of the Italian words Stunatta and Cazzo. It
literally means "Stupid Dick".
Do you believe Paulie forgot to weigh down the body? Whata fuckin' stugats!
Jersey with connections. Is also used by people in New York. It means
nothing, crap, sh*t.
"What the f*ck do you know. You don't know stugats!"
"I got stugats for my birthday. I didn't even get a freaking card."
"You're so f*cking stupid, you got stugats for brains."

There’s nothing like customizing your brand new yacht. “At the end of the day we’re creating dreams,” says one builder. According to a broker, “We have a pretty thorough interview about what it is the buyer is looking for: how much they want to spend, the size, the number of guests. Does the buyer want something they can live aboard full-time, or just on the weekend? Will they spend more time in the Mediterranean or the Caribbean? Quite a lot of time goes into the design. He adds that boats are often built to accommodate the customers’ interior design plan.
Builders may offer you their standard contractual terms, though amendments may be needed. If you choose to have an independent designer develop a unique design, it may be possible for the finished blueprints to be interpreted by a builder in more than one way, so the specifications must be highly detailed. A separate interior designer may be needed, as well as a naval architect and independent technical surveyor—many voices. To ensure everyone’s singing from the same sheet music, incorporate the contracts with these parties into a single agreement. more
You’ll also want to focus on practical considerations. Will she fit in the dock behind the house? Will the bridge fit, too? How many guests can go for a day’s cruise? How many can stay overnight? What places do you want to go and how distant are they? Can you easily obtain parts during voyages?
“One similarity between a good car and nice house and a new yacht is craftsmanship and quality of parts,” says Neff. “Also the experience of the yard—there are vast differences in the industry. There are very, very good manufacturers, and very, very, very bad manufacturers.” If we’re talking cost, the least-expensive yachts come from China. Word’s still out on quality, but a new manufacturer’s 98-footer costs around $5 million, while an 86-footer runs $1.2 million. A large part of the savings is labor—the average shipyard worker earns less than $1,000 a month, though the right experience can be hard to come by.
“She’s gorgeous,” says one who’s been there. “But when you go onboard you’re not going to have the amenities you have today.” Being a converted military vessel, Christina O has a narrow hull and so she’ll roll in high seas, especially at anchor. Modern yachts carry stabilization systems to counter the waves. A few of the other compromises that come with such an old yacht include: narrower hallways, small staterooms, lack of onboard boat storage and an air conditioning system that isn’t whisper-quiet. And on Christina O the crew is visible even when they should be out of sight. here
Eclipse lost the No. 1 position to Azzam, the 590-footer reportedly bought by Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al-Nayan, the President of the United Arab Emirates and Emir of Abu Dhabi, for more than $600 million. She’s armed with drone missiles and swimming pools, and has a luxurious, early nineteenth century Empire decor. The mark for third longest goes to the 482-foot Prince Abdulaziz—owned by the king of Saudi Arabia—which held the record for 22 years. No. 4 is the modestly priced $200 million Rising Sun, 454 feet long.
The yard should be obliged to carry insurance against damage to or destruction of your yacht even before it hits the water. Meanwhile, in the event of a claim, you should have the option of a refund on payments made to the builder or that the insurance pays for repairs. more
Search: Go to boat shows, which are great places to meet people in the industry, like brokers. Or if a yacht becomes available, make a special appointment for a tour. No matter what, find a broker. They are a friendly and invaluable source of knowledge both on yachts and the current market. Remember, like a real estate agent, broker descriptions come without guarantee. [links]
“One client wanted elephant skin in some places where you normally have things lined with leather,” says one decorator who prefers not to be identified. “There are shower fixtures that could dispense Champagne. On superyachts they have submarine units, defense systems, and anti-paparazzi equipment on board. They’re laser based, and shoot in the direction of the photographer and ruin the photo. If you can imagine it we’ve seen it on a yacht.”
