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.

” but Im just quoting the Times: n——r wops.”
And now everyone can say it while proclaiming that we are all just quoting Cuomo.

...m half Sicilian were called, quote-unquote and pardon my language, but Im just quoting the Times: n----r wops. N-word wops, as a derogatory comment..." BS! I grew up during the 30's & 40's in an Italian neighborhood and the term "nigger-wop" is a fabrication by this communist filth... "Wop", while derogatory, certainly was not a "racist" term...
My family lived at the intersection of a 99% Irish neighborhood and a 99% Italian neighborhood... Lots of derogatory slang expressions exchanged on occasion by the drinking adults from both neighborhoods playing baseball in the street in front of my house... Race was never an issue... Also, "hate" was never an issue... It was always the wops against the micks... We, being Dutch/Scottish mutts, were on any side we wanted...
As an aside, like the true patriotic Americans they all were, roughly 30% of the "over 16's and under 35's" from both neighborhoods did not survive WWII...

He and his family area disgrace to the Italian race

You’re both wrong.
They created and set the standard and it’s wrong that anyone would let them live by a standard different than the one they set for the rest of us.

wop really meant a dandy, Cuomo continued.Incorrect. "Fop" meant dandy. "Wop" referred to illegal Italian immigrants: "WithOut Papers."

that was when the Times-Union told me, no, you should look in Wikipedia, wop really meant a dandy, Cuomo continued. What an idiot.
The word he's thinking of is "fop."
