词源

From Neapolitan americano. The first vowel is reduced to a schwa in Neapolitan and further undergoes apheresis in American Neapolitan. To American ears, Neapolitan /k/ sounds like English /ɡ/ due to Neapolitan unvoiced stops being unaspirated unlike in American English. The final vowel in Neapolitan is reduced to a schwa and is further apocopated in American Neapolitan.
