Either way, Fat Tony, just in case you're reading, they both apply ... and you're an embarrassment to the court.

There is no word "'ey" in English.

And there is no phrase "va fa un culo." There is a "vaffanculo" though.

However, the OP was not written in Italian. It was a phonetic spelling of an Italian-American dialect vulgar colloquialism from the Northeast US.

Have a swell day. And bless your heart for helping me out.
