“Meatball is a slur aimed at Italians.”

Just the opposite. Who doesn’t like meatballs, or Italians? It’s a dopey nickname, but I took it to mean that he’s not far from roly-poly.

I thought it was slang for a goof....a meathead.

Maybe. LOL! If so, it was way off target.

“meathead” - bad
“meatball” - good and yummy

LOL. We have Italian in-laws, and I love them (most of the time).
