What does it mean when they call some a W.A.S.P.? I have heard people calling females this, not old ones; is it an Italian?

The term traditionally means White Anglo-Saxon Protestant in America.
But the term has evolved in time. As "Anglo-Saxon" and "Protestant" numbers dropped, the term came to encompass not only those of British Isles descent, but also people of Irish, French, German, Dutch and Scandinavian heritage as well. You must remember that there are far more Americans of German, Irish, and Italian heritage than there are of "English" or "Anglo-Saxon" descent living in America today.
Today a WASP is basically anyone who is white, of a Christian denomination, and more often than not, wealthy.

It depends what you are asking. Are you asking whether the English word "god" has a meaning; and if so what is it? Or are you asking whether "God (the Creator" has meaning in who He is and what He does? The first question about the Eng word "god"; well to be honest, I do NOt know what is the origin of the word. I guess I can check online, but that would be me just regurgitating what someone else has written. I tend to think of the Eng word "god" to refer to "a or the Creator". When used of the biblical God, then I would refer to "God" as meaning "the uncreated Creator who is full of power and might; a king who has the right and ability to judge, but is not confined to a physical form" As for whether the God of the Bible has meaning... I would say that the question is the wrong way round: the God of the Bible is the means by which ALL else has meaning. No thing can have meaning unless the God of the Bible is truly who He says He is. I understand then that this implies that one has to accept that the God of the Bible - 1 - Exists 2 - Can be experienced by mankind 3 - The Bible is an accurate account of God communicating with mankind (in its original language) I guess what could help answer the second question is "Why should anything have meaning?" Or better still "Why are humans looking for meaning in things?" across ALL cultures throughout all of recorded history... Hope this helps

White Anglo Saxon Protestant.
Usually the uppercrust of Blueblood American Society.
The Bush's are WASPS, as are the Rockerfellers. The Kennedys are not since they are Celtic Catholic but they have WASPish money.

White Anglo-Saxon Protestant, related to a Young Urban Professional (YUPpie). Generally, someone who is conservative and well-off. There's no exclusion for Italians, though since a lot of them are Catholic, it doesn't always apply.
Sean, an Anglo-Saxon is someone of British descent.

WASP Stands for "White Anglo Saxon Protestant" usually it is meant as in insult but some of us take pride in our heritage. It has it's roots from England.

It was also an acronym during WWII for "Women Airforce Service Pilots"....many women flew all types of military aircraft during the war to transfer aircraft from on base to another. For more info on them, see the below link.
