    OP - Wop = without papers

      Thanks! Seems a bit dated to still be racist against Italians nowadays, I thought they mostly moved on to different ethnicities by now.

        Yeah it’s older for sure, but my friends grandma got called that in like 70s and beat some lady up for it. Cop let her go.

        That’s how I learned about it from an deep Italian American family.
