Not to disrespect FUGAZI, but what IS the meaning of the word? Seems like I've heard it in a much more recent movie than the Godfather series.

Yes, you are exactly right. I first came across the word in a book about the Vietnam War in high school-back in 86? Came across it again in88 because there is a band called "Fugazi"v from DC. I also know from my boss who's from NY that Fugazi is a common word used there, probably derived from the italian language.
