Johnny liked people to call him Stomp. He liked the association with a multiple times loser from 1950's/1960's mobland L.A.. Big Johnny Stompanato, a wop with a shiny coat and a shinier knife; stomp was notorious for his connections with Cohen's rackets but when it came to the crunch, he'd piss his pants every time it came to a confrontation . He couldn't hold his liquor or his women and the sound of submerged sniggers matched the nudging that greeted his presence everywhere he went. And Johnny thought being associated with this mook made him a man to be admired. The word dick springs to mind.
