Cosa Nostra
editThe adequate and literal translation for Cosa Nostra is "our thing" and not "this thing of ours" which is an invention of Hollywood film makers. Serious scholars stick to the literal translation. Although I am a fan of the Soprano's as well, I do not see them as a relable source for Wikipedia. I hope that answers your question. - Mafia Expert 17:12, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
