Guido: “Guido” (or “Gino”) is a slang term for a younger lower class or working class urban Italian-American. The Guido stereotype is often portrayed as humorously thuggish with an overtly macho attitude and an unyielding pride in his Italian ancestry.
Jenni “J-Woww” Farley of Jersey Shore fame admitted on Fox’s Strategy Room Tuesday that she and Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi aren’t Italian. J-Woww is Spanish/Irish and Snooki is Chilean. Did you hear that? That was America gasping in disbelief. You mean reality shows aren’t exactly real? My god! I’m going to have to go back to my tapes and take a long, hard look at past shows like The Bachelor and that one with fat people. What’s real and what isn’t? I’m so confused!
