chained_bear "In an effort to stop the flow of immigration, some in the American press alleged that hundreds of Italian criminals had entered the United States as a result of Italy's careless system for issuing passports, suggesting that the criminals were leading mafiosi and members of the camorra. ... The immigrants, when speaking of criminals in their midst, used the word cammorista, a term also used to identify anything or anybody that was a burden to be endured. An outrageous, aggressive, egotistical, selfish person was a cammorista. So was a greedy landlord. A splitting headache was often described as having a 'cammoria in my head.'"
