What does gumba mean in itialian?

"Gumba" is not a word in Italian. It is an English slang term that originated in the 1970s, likely from the word "goomba" which was used to describe a member of the Italian-American Mafia.

While "goomba" itself is not a real Italian word, it's related to the Italian word "gomito" which means "elbow." This connection might be due to the image of gangsters leaning on each other, using their elbows for support.

However, it's important to remember that "gumba" is a slang term that carries negative connotations and can be considered offensive.
