The word... guidos?

Question

IS it a bad word? Why?

Answer 1

...its not a BAD word, its just an insult towards Italian-Americans. Really, Guido is just an Italian name which isnt really that popular anymore, but it is just a name.

But hey, leave it to Americans. The word, or name, Guido has come to be an insulting stereoype for Italian-Americans, basically depicting pinky rings, jewlery, mofia, spiked-gelled hair, that is really what Guido is trying to say, the stereotypical Italian American...

But again, its just a name... It would be as if all "rednecks" would be made fun of by calling them Billy, or Bob. Pretty stupid...
