has anybody ever heard the term .. ?

guido or guidette before? I'm thinking it might be local to the tristate area .. but I'm not sure

 

I have a friend named Guido...

Sounds like a derogatory term for an Italian, but I could be wrong. Define "tristate", there are several places where three states come together.

 

It IS a derogatory term for an Italian. I never heard it in Chicago (Chicago has a LOT of Italians), but I hear it used around Memphis. Mostly by rednecks (another derogatory term )

 

I heard of it, it was in like terms of wanabe bikers, those who dress the dress, but don’t have a bike………what they drive has four wheels………wobbles

 

Guido is a derogatory term for any person of italian decent. This person usually wears lots of gold chains, wears wife beaters, slicked back hair and typically drives a chevy camaro, corvette, nova, chevelle, monty carlo, 69 impala, or a ford mustang 5.0.

The guido typically has some sort of rain forest for chest hair, wears gold nugget rings the size of dice and can often be seen driving around in their vehicles with their other guido friends for extended periods of time , (often in a circular pattern ) to see if they can pick- up the ladies. The guido's mating call is "C'mon, les go do it" which is generally followed by "Go'on, gitatta'eer" if successful or some lesbian remark if unsuccessful.

Never touch the guido's car.

 

Kodo is accurate, but I wouldn't call it a derogatory term. Its about attitude -you're either a Giudo or not.

Characterizing all Guido's as wifebeaters is derogatory and somewhat insulting. Some of the nicest guys I know are Guidos and would give their shirts off their back for friend or stranger.

 

no no, they WEAR wife beaters..it's a kind of tank top. Not that they ARE wife beaters..ya goof!

 

Were - wears...too close when you're getting emotional. Phew and here I thought this was going to turn into another headed thread. Thanks for clearing that up.

The driving in a circular pattern - its because you can't make left turns onto 86th street.

Also Guido's had to have some sort of playboy emblem on their car and person. Guidettes had their hair teased to the sky.

 

fuzzy dice and leather jackets..too!

My post was meant to be more humorous than anything else

 

One of these days...
I'm gonna visit that Magical Place.

I swear:
Before my death I will walk on the sidewalks of NEW YORK CITY!

I will see and experience this culture, in all its diversity and color.

 

I always thought is was an italiano who watched rocky one to many times

 

Ahhh, this thread makes me feel like I'm back home sitting on the front step with my Grandmom Anunzia Arnao in South Philly

 

well, we could add that to the description

 

Walking the streets of NYC may just be the death of you.....j/k

 

In the UK we call them fairweather bikers.

Is a term or name derogatory in itself? Or is it that we perceive it to be therefore it becomes so? I don't have a problem with being called "limey"...infact my step-grandkids call me "Grandma Limey" in fun. I know chatrooms where anyone using the word "yank" finds it is auto-changed to "american". How far do you take political correctness? If you want to be offended then you probably will be IMHO

 

Now that IS funny!

 

LOL, Kodo you are a funny man..

I'm touching the car...touching it...see?? (I am not afraid of anything.)

 

You go, lostkiwi -- live dangerously! Fear no one!
