I can honestly say I’ve never seen that word before.

[sub]Probably because it’s spelled “capisce”, like in your link to the SNPP.[/sub]

Bart thought “catfish” for “capsice” in the car, when he was remembering the guard warning him to stay away from that 'Try ‘N Save’.

[hijack]OK, it turns out “catfish” is used in the episode, but not in the quote cited. Instead, it’s used when Bart is daydreaming:

Whoops, Revtim beat me to it. As for “Capeesh”, I read that it’s a vulagarized English-spelling (one of several) of the original Italian Munch cites…

I definitely knew the word capice. Is that a whoosh?  
And I am only two questions in the hole. The “For Shame” was just an expression stolen from the show, not an answer. Notice the lack of bold! 🙂

Part of the Mr. Sparkle jingle! “Join me or die! Can you do any less? I am disrepectful to dirt! Can you see I am serious?” Hee Hee, I love the Mr.Sparkle episode.

“We won’t be needing _this_ anymore!”
