Fat Tony
Corpulent crime boss
Fat Tony is a nickname for a heavyset man named Tony, or more broadly, any stocky Italian-American man associated with organized crime.
The name evokes mob stereotypes—someone intimidating despite (or because of) his bulk.
The character Fat Tony on *The Simpsons* crystallized this archetype: a Mafia boss with a raspy voice and menacing politeness.
