Continuity mistake: Tony and Paulie rent a boat. After they cast off and get underway, Paulie is standing at the aft of the boat, not moving. Behind Paulie, there's a closed door with the boat rental information posted on it. As the boat continues to head out to sea, in the next shot of Paulie, the door is now open, but he is standing in the same spot. (00:45:20)
Continuity mistake: Paulie serves Tony a plate of rigatoni with a big slice of bread. After a few bits of rigatoni the bread disappears from the plate. (00:49:05)
Continuity mistake: At the Miami restaurant, when Tony, Paulie, and Beansie lift their champagne flutes for a toast, in the close-up Beansie holds out his glass with his right hand, but in the two wide shots he holds the glass out in his left hand.
Answer: I'm not sure which person you're referring to here specifically, but the meaning is someone who makes a habit of constantly going to funeral calling hours (normally 2pm-5pm and 7pm to 9pm) for morbid entertainment or gossip purposes (elderly ladies, for example).
