it's the acronym of "WithOut Papers", if I'm not wrong. It's due to the fact that many Italian immigrants arrived to Ellis Island without their documents. In France they still use to refer to immigrants from developing countries as "sans papiers".

I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, yes, magic. I try to give that to people. I do misrepresent things. I don't tell the truth. I tell what ought to be truth (Blanche/A streetcar named desire)
