what does Paulie say before he shoots Bernie?


it sounds like 'kudo nuto'. what is that? is that Italian? I'd love to know. it's been bugging me for 20 years. thank you in advance.

reply

The Italian word is pronounced "cornuto". In English it means "cukold". A man who fools around with a married woman. Paulie also gives the symbol of this word with his hand, the devil's horns.

thanks for the reply, but isn't a 'cuckold' the man who is being cheated on?

reply

yes, it refers to a man whose wife cheats on him, not the contrary
