JGowans Posted June 12, 2003 Posted June 12, 2003 Can someone please explain to me the derogatory nature of Guido? I suspect it's some bigoted reference along the lines of spick and the dreaded "n" word but am not sure. Is it an outdated '70s colloquial term still in use in the mid-West primarily by mullet museum contenders and founding members of the Camaro fan club? Alas, I am not privy to such terminology. Quote
JGowans Posted June 12, 2003 Author Posted June 12, 2003 Nevermind. Just found it! /gwee'do/ or /khwee'do/ Without qualification, Guido van Rossum (author of Python). Note that Guido answers to English /gwee'do/ but in Dutch it's /khwee'do/. Stellar! I've been called a lot worse in my day. Quote
JGowans Posted June 12, 2003 Author Posted June 12, 2003 I know. Austin Powers calls it his "Inner Monologue" Quote
Kiwi Posted June 12, 2003 Posted June 12, 2003 Everytime I hear the word 'guido' I think of gold chain-wearing, hairy-chested, open shirt blokes with tacky outfits. But what do I know, I'm just an uncultured sod. Quote
scrotum Posted June 12, 2003 Posted June 12, 2003 gowans and that number dude need to BATTLECAGE Quote
JGowans Posted June 12, 2003 Author Posted June 12, 2003 He bores me. I'd indolently saunter around the cage as he tried to pick up his belly from the sawdust caked floor and rush towards me as his gold medallions bounced from his chest to his face and slapped him silly. Meanwhile, his buxom bleach blond girlfriend would be rapping on the bars, threatening all kinds of bodily harm against me in between swigs of MD 20-20. No thanks. I think I'll watch him on Tough Guy on FX. Quote
CrazyFlattlander Posted June 12, 2003 Posted June 12, 2003 No, you see Guido was not intended to be derogatory remark, only that I figured that you were Italian with that piss poor attitude of yours. My apologies to the Irishman. Quote
CrazyFlattlander Posted June 12, 2003 Posted June 12, 2003 That was poorly said, my apologies to all of the Italians here. What I meant to say, was with that fiery temper. Quote
