Talk:Guido (slang)

message: "Guido" is much less common now than it used to be, and part of why it was so controversial on the Jersey Shore was that it revived the word for many.  The style should describe the style of the time when the word was common not today's style.

message: How come no one can refer to the popular "my new haircut" youtube video. This is one of many definitions that doesnt make fun of just italians, but anyone who dresses/acts like that in clubs etc. Stop deleting stuff that doesnt fit your definition. 
No Camaros? No mention of hair? No mention of leather jackets? Blasphemy.--Pozole 03:53, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Okay, I've never been to Australia, but are people who dress and act like guidos there really called wogs? My understanding of the slur "wog" is that in Australia it would be applied to Aboriginals, not a guy with spiked hair and an unbuttoned dress shirt. TJSwoboda 01:36, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes. Until the 80s, 'wog' was almost exclusively applied to Italians and Greeks - see the article on wog. After the increase of immigrants from middle-eastern countries in the 80s, it also came to be used for them as well (Lebanese, Iraqis etc). There are plenty of words that have been used to refer to Aboriginal people in a derogatory manner; wog has never been one of them. Natgoo 10:20, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Austrailian Guidos

message: Has any research been done into the history of the term? Being from MA, when I was growing up, guido didn't have the same associations it did now. Namely, the emphasis was more on the working class image rather than fake tans, muscles, club music, hair gel, etc.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.127.255.224 (talk) 20:42, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

message: I think in Canada we use the term "Gino" for this.--Sonjaaa (talk) 15:14, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: In french too, Gino refers to this definition, although the term "guido" is catching on to describe the new spiked-haired, Ed-Hardy-wearing generation - also including non-italian of the same style. zubrowka74 17:36, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
