But then, it's also like if something's the greatest thing in the world, like, ‘Minghia! Those peppers! Forget about it!’ But it's also like saying ‘Go to hell!’ too. Like, you know, like ‘Hey Paulie, you got a one-inch pecker?’ and Paulie says ‘Forget about it!’ Sometimes it just means ‘Forget about it.’
