"Clemenza promised them Uh Gotz."
He promised them Balls. Dick. Nothing.
Now it makes some sense. I was hearing something like (phonetically) caz zaht. I should have realized that it was (phonetically) gotz which actually is cazzi such as in Mangia imei cazzi.. It really is a struggle to listen and understand Italians speaking the language and second and thrid generations trying to understanding and speak it.
