An Italian-American slang term for something that is not authentic. It was made famous by the movie Donnie Brasco. In reference to a person, fugazi can describe some one who is a fake, a poser, crazy, or prone to lying.

The word "fugazi" is not Italian, but was first used by Italian-Americans. To answer your question it would be considered Italian American slang. It's not really a word in either language.

Fugazy is not really an Italian-American slang term. It is more of a New York slang term, with its origin coming from a series of bad TV commercials for Fugazy Limousine. The commercials were incredibly cheesy, and the term caught on as describing something that was cheesy, cheap, not quite right, etc.
