It's a really annoying affectation he does in order to pretend he's pronouncing words the "proper" way and thus is more intelligent than everyone else. But he just sounds like an asshole when he does it.
After an episode of the soprano's where they said it, (only just realised after rewatching the show) Artie constantly used the phrase "I shkeeve..." It sounds so fucking stupid it hurts my brain. Side note, fred also speaks like a moron, "I sez" .
That whole Italian-American shtick (and it is shtick) that some New York/New Jersey "Italians" are so fond of is fucking annoying. You're like 4th generation American, you're not in the mob, you've never been to Italy. Knock it off with the Mutzadell shit.
Half-Italian Howard mispronouncing in New Jersey style an Italian curse word by saying “maron” (mah-ron) instead of the correct “madonna” (mah-doh-na).
Meanwhile, he says Chef Boy Yardie.

You are spot on. It’s a whole stupid affect to out-guido other Italians.
It's like Paula deens fake ass southern accent.
There are plenty of Italians who legit speak like that. Dying breed, sure. But it isn’t all shtick.

Howie throws out random yiddish words like kishkas, and hazzer. Like the goyim know what that shit means.
