"Friend" is an English equivalent of the Italian American slang term goomba.

Specifically, the Italian American word is an Americanization of the Italian word compareand the Sicilian cumpari. The latter two words are regional forms of padrino, which literally means "godfather, sponsor." The pronunciation is "GOOM-bah" in slang, "koom-PAH-ree" in Sicilian, "kohm-PAH-ray" in regional Italian, and "pah-DREE-noh" in textbook Italian.
