For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.It's a Mafia phrase - you hear it in 'The Godfather' and it means that gang war has broken out between Families. the phrase comes from the habit of warring gangsters to set up temporary hedqwuarters in a cheap or abandoned building, to keep the fighting away from their homes and families. These places were unfurnished, except for matrasses, which they wouod sleep on in the lulls between blwoing each others' brains out. The phrase has now come to mean 'going to war' for gangs.
