    RE: Send him back to Italy

    er after reviewing Wikipedia i am probably wrong</p>

    Wop is a American English pejorative ethnic slur for a person of Italian descent. It is derived from the Neapolitan word &quot;guappo&quot;, meaning dude or thug. The word defines those who belong to the Guapperia o &ldquo;Camorra&rdquo;, a criminal organization similar to the Sicilian Mafia located mostly in the province of Campania (an Italian Province) and its capital Naples, Italy.</p>

    The term is still commonly used especially in Central-South Italy (Meridione) to describe those that either belong to the organization or those that are arrogant to the point of inducing a fight. It was brought to the USA by early Italian immigrants from the province of Campania who named those suspected to belonging to the Guapperia &ldquo;Guappi&rdquo;, in a similar fashion the Sicilians used the term &ldquo;Mafiosi&rdquo;. Widely used in Chicago where most immigrants from Campania settled, one of its native sons Al Capone was a typical Guappo, it was confused by the non Italian population to indicate people of Italian origins, similarly the word &ldquo;Paesano&rdquo;.</p>

    <font color="#ff3300">Contrary to popular belief, it is most likely not an acronym for &quot;</font><font color="#ff3300">With Out Papers</font><font color="#ff3300">&quot; or &quot;Without Passport&quot;, or &quot;Working On Pavement</font></p>
