My Albanian friend said he is going to get me a pair of quot;cement shoesquot; for my birthday.What do you think he meant by that? Is that some sort of Albanian lingo?
Cement shoes are worn by a corpse which is to be disposed of by being thrown into deep water.
No,it is Italian for death. Run.
its mob language for dumping someone in the water to drown them
Cement shoes is a slang term adopted by the American Mafia crime world for a method of execution that involves weighting down a victim and throwing him or her into the water to drown o.o'
that actually comes from an old Italian mafia jargon. Allegedly, when they killed somebody and wanted to make the body disappear, they would dip the feet of the corpse in cement, which then solidified to make cement shoes or overshoes. Then, when the body was dumped in the water (lake, river, sea), the weight of the cement shoes would prevent the body from floating to the surface...
