"Fugazi" can mean a few different things depending on the context:Slang (most common modern meaning)
Something that's fake, phony, counterfeit, or bogus. Popularized in the 1990s–2000s East Coast U.S. street slang, especially in New York, New Jersey, and the DMV (D.C./Maryland/Virginia) area.
Example: “That Rolex he’s wearing is straight fugazi” = It’s a fake Rolex.
You’ll still hear it a lot in hip-hop lyrics, movies (e.g., Donnie Brasco), and among Italian-American communities.

It probably comes from the next meaning:
Original origin: Military/Vietnam War slang
Shortened from “fricked Up, Got Ambushed, Zipped In (body bag).”
Soldiers used “fugazi” to describe a situation that was completely messed up or chaotic. Over time it morphed into a general term for anything fake or messed up.
The band
Fugazi is a legendary post-hardcore/punk band from Washington, D.C. (formed 1987, fronted by Ian MacKaye of Minor Threat). They’re famous for their DIY ethics, $10 shows, and anti-major-label stance. If someone in a music context says “fugazi,” they’re probably talking about the band.

So in everyday conversation today, if someone says “That’s fugazi,” 95% of the time they just mean it’s fake or bullshite.
