• n. 移居美國的南歐黑膚人（尤指意大利人）

美國俚語，通常認(rèn)為來自意大利方言guappo,無賴，惡棍，傻瓜，含貶義。俗詞源認(rèn)為來自without passport的縮寫詞，因20世紀(jì)初大量沒護(hù)照的意大利人涌入美國。

wop (n.)

derogatory for "Italian," 1912, American English slang, apparently from southern Italian dialect guappo "dandy, dude, stud," a greeting among male Neapolitans, said to be from Spanish guapo "bold, dandy," which is from Latin vappa "sour wine," also "worthless fellow;" related to vapidus (see vapid). It is probably not an acronym, and the usual story that it is one seems to date only to c. 1985.
