It comes from the Spanish given name Diego. It nautical in origin and originally referred to Spanish or Portuguese sailors on English or American ships. This usage dates to the 1830s. The meaning eventually broadened to include anyone from southern Europe, before narrowing again and restricting usage to Italians. The sense meaning Italian dates to at least the 1870s.

that's much less annoying to call them black than asking each and every "African looking" guy or woman their nationality. there is not any element in being proud in ones ethnicity, and taking credit for anther's achievements because you are the comparable race/ethnicity/coloration/nationality. That word became used defensibly by blacks to fend off the hatred for darker epidermis tones. no longer all and sundry considers the be conscious black to be foul and demeaning. you arise with a answer, you tell others what you like to be referred to as, it incredibly is greater useful than a Yahoo solutions rant. attempt a genuine talk board, you will get greater comments, and particular greater clever talk.

I don't know about Dego or Greaseball, but WOP stands for WithOut Papers. It stems from the period of imigration when Italians were sceened at Ellis Island where the Statue of Liberty is.

I did not know that dago was still used??? I hate the "N" word too. I hate it when black people call each other "N" too, Let me get off my soapbox. This is your question (smile).
Remember, it is not what they call you, it is what you answer to.

Because people are basically rude and ignorant, and VERY immature. Try to let it roll off your back because you are always going to run into these types of morons.
