[Amanda Stone]

Quick suggestions on Soprano catchphrases

fuhgeddaboudit (var. spellings)  http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=fuhgeddaboudit
Bada bing   
Going to the mattresses

None of these are unique to the show, but probably popularized by it.

Searching Urban Dictionary for The Sopranos is -very- interesting (Google: site:http://www.urbandictionary.com sopranos) but not necessarily work-safe or for the faint of consitution.

Here is a lexicon for The Sopranos: http://www.crimetime.co.uk/features/thesopranosguide.php

I have been asked by a reporter to comment on quotations and words and phrases 
originated or popularized by "The Sopranos."  There is a tight deadline, so I 
would welcome any quick suggestions.
