Any of you guys know what Dago means? I've been reading a book called My Years with Capone (reference used by Deniro for The Untouchables). he gets pissed of when somebody says that (yup one incident he killed a guy in a bar for saying that in his face)  . Thanks. DC

Me and my homeboy Joe started a crew called the Daygos (spelled creativly) I think its just a sort of deragatory name for Italians like Guinee )mispelled) and Wop.

 I wonder about the actual origens if the words. For exaple, Wop means With Out Papers, when many Italians were undocumented immigrants. **** comes from people who are Latino saying "Yoo **** inglich". Is Guinea a reference to Sicilians supposedly having African blood or where does Dago come from? Edited by administration.

Way back in NYC history the NYPD began to be comprised of a majority of Irishmen, or men of Irish extraction. Having been brutally oppressed themselves upon their arrival, the Irish slowly were climbing up the socio-economic ladder and fell into what sadly seems to be human nature...finding a newer, poorer group of people under them to abuse and the Irish cops were very brutal to the newer immigrants especially Italians and Sicilians. The NYPD then coined the phrase W.O.P. This is not an indictment of the Irish, it's just a small illustration of what has been going on for millennia--people putting down others to feel good about themselves, for cheap labor and to use as scapegoats for everything. Oh yeah...one group of people had papers always...the Africans who were kidnapped in Africa (Yes I know, sometimes by their own people) and sold to slavetraders who in turn sold them in the USA had papers that said they were the property of other human beings.

Damn, you are good turnbull!
I always wondered about those origins, especially since Woltz calls Tom "KrautMick..."
So what is Kraut from? Obviously German origin, but I'm not sure what Kraut translates to.
Any ideas anyone?

Thanks That's what happens to intelligent people like you, you miss the obvious because it looks too simple. I've read many of your posts and you are definitely an articulate and informed woman. You are also a beautiful lady, along with LDV, PastaPunk and others. You all prove that it is not impossible to have brains and beauty. I say these things with the utmost respect to you and your family.

Why thank you Bronxking (They need to add a curtsy emoticon!) I enjoy your posts as well, and anyone that can joke AND behave like a gentleman, scores high in my book!
