You must also be of Italian descent too, correct?
If so, you have a free pass using that term. Not that you need anything from me. Just saying, I still wouldn’t dare call anybody that, again, unless I was Italian myself.
The term WOP used to be a well known insult.
Maybe not so much anymore.
I know it literally means With Out Papers.
It’s sort of like when black folks use the N word amongst themselves.
Did you hear about the new Italian tires?
Dago here, dago there, and when dago flat, dago wop wop wop.
No WOP was always an insult even if other Italians used it.
Without Papers.
Now of course with all this offending stuff, can’t say it, but it’s not common anymore.
I am very much of Italian descent on both sides but it is a wrong word to use anyway and I apologize.
