Goobalini
What does it mean, Monello? Please enlighten those of us not from Joisey!

Wear one all winter, but I lost my good one this year. Left it at the gym and it was gone the next day. Dayum.Goobalini
Is that what you two call 'it'
I'm never stopping in Jersey for those again
goobalini is the term used in a very specific region of northern new jersey (nutley, to be exact) to describe a tight stocking cap that sits above the ears and is topped by a pom pom. it is thought to have evolved form the italian word cupola, meaning a small dome that sits atop a building.
I don't have a pom pom on mine. That's for girls.
We just finished up watching all the seasons of the Sopranos. They reference that pastry many times and they even call Christopher's daughter that. So it's a term of endearment. And if made right, a pretty awesome dessert.
Here's a recipe
I never knew it was a term of 'endearment' Pretty sure my mother has used it as a PG-version of ass-hole while getting all Italian crazy on my menacing brothers. :talkingwithmyhands:
