Just to let everyone know that Vito and Phill are Cugino's which means cousin. Alot of you are not sure if they're cousins but now you know.

I was in South Brooklyn last year and the Italians there were calling each other that. I asked them what it meant and they compared it to like "bro", and "friend". While I know it does mean cousin, it's also evidently used to refer to a "close friend".

I really don't believe their cousins. If Tony B. had killed vito's cousin (Billy Leotardo), there would have been at least some mention of it.

If it turns out they are cousins, I'll consider it a major hole in the plot. I know I'd be pretty pissed off if someone shot one of my cousins - even if I didn't like them. To not even mention it seems like a major oversight.
