Except it’s not really, because it changes how the N is pronounced

Gotcha, so it’d be “real g’s are soft like lasagna”

Sure, but what does lasagna have to do with being silent?

It’s a metaphor.

The “g” is silent in the pronunciation of lasagna.

This gives the meaning that “real gangsters” operate silently.
