Siculish is the "Sicilianization" of English language words and phrases by immigrants from Sicily to the United States in the early 20th century, usually for humorous effect, or out of necessity. Many times, Siculish was used to Sicilianize the names of American places among immigrant communities, such as Bensonhurst, New York becoming nicknamed "Bensinosti". Indeed New York itself became known as Nu Jorca.
