Guido


Guido är ett begrepp som härstammar från det italienska namnet Guido.

Termen används nedsättande om unga italienska män, eller andra som försöker efterapa den den moderna amerikan-italienska livsstilen.

Från Wikipedia:
Clothing associated with the stereotype includes gold chains, working class clothing such as plain T-shirts, muscle shirts, or "guinea ts" (derived from the term "guinea," an ethnic slur for Italians), leather jackets, sweat or tracksuits, scally caps, unbuttoned dress shirts, and dress suits. Slicked-back hair or pompadours were a common stereotype. Recently, spiked has become a common hair stereotype. The hairstyle is commonly refered to as Sonic the Hedgehodge Blowback or the Brooklyn Fade or "Brook", for short.
