Talk Like A Gangster

First of all you need some character tips to really get into the role of a budding Al Capone:

1. Refer to women as 'Doll', this shows that you see them as a plaything, a toy, something to be used and tossed aside. Gangster's girls will work hard to keep you interested. Other terms: Gal, Sister, Sheba, a Jazz Baby, a Barlow or Whoopee Mama.
2. Refer to men as Bird, an Egg (Good or Bad Egg), Fella, a Gink, Goose, Jasper or Mac.

4. If intoxicated at the local speakeasy use these terms: Soaked With a Bar Rag, Stewed To The Hat, Polluted, Plastered, Splifficated, Pie-Eyed.
5. Refer to money as Greens, Mazuma, Jack, Sugar, Dough, Rhino or Cabbage.
6. If someone owes you money or is just cheap, that person is a False Alarm, a One-Way Kid, a Gum-Drop or a Wallet-Clutcher.
7. If you are planning a gang war between the families there use the following terms. 'Go to the mattresses' (conduct a violent war)  'DumDum's (soft-tipped bullets that inflict more damage), 'Bean Shooters', 'Muhaskas' or 'Heaters' (guns), 'Pineapples' (grenades) and plenty of 'Hatchetmen' or 'Gunsels' (men on your side).

9. Remember the Family Comes first
10. You should speak english with a broken Italian Accent. Refer to the Don or the Godfather in Conversation, such as The Don won't be pleased.
