WOP isn’t derived from a BAD Italian word. Not a very complimentary one either.

But only a ####ing moron would think it’s not been used as a derogatory term forever now.

SMFH

And I don’t know WHO THE #### told him it meant a “dandy” but it wasn’t anyone who knows the Italian language or culture AT ALL.

And no it NEVER meant WithOut Papers

I was told that it is from the Spanish word guapo meaning "handsome."

I don't know if that is correct. It could have started as a compliment meant sarcastically.
