==Etymology== This cut is typically called {{lang|it|capocollo}} or {{lang|it|coppa}} in much of Italy, Corsica, and southern Switzerland ([[Ticino]] and the [[Grisons]]).<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.patrimoineculinaire.ch/Prodotti?text=coppa#20 | title=Coppa | publisher=[[Culinary Heritage of Switzerland]] | accessdate=10 March 2023}}</ref> This name is a compound of the words {{lang|it|capo}} ('head') and {{lang|it|collo}} ('neck'). Regional terms include {{lang|it|capicollo}} ([[Campania]] and [[Calabria]]) and {{lang|it|capicollu}} ([[Corsica]]). Outside of Europe, terms include ''bondiola'' or {{lang|es|bondiola curada}} in [[Argentina]], [[Paraguay]], and [[Uruguay]], and ''capicola'' or ''capicolla'' in North America.<ref>''Canadian Oxford Dictionary'', 2nd ed., 2004.</ref> The pronunciation ''gabagool'' has been used by [[Italians in New York City|some Italian Americans in the New York City area]] and elsewhere in the Northeast US, based on the [[Neapolitan language]] word {{lang|nap|capecuollo}} ({{IPA|nap|kapəˈkwollə|pron}}) in working-class strata of 19th- and early 20th-century immigrants.<ref>Dan Nosowitz.
