Calabrian
Person from Calabria, the southern-most region or the toe of Italy. People from Calabria typically have dark brown or black hair that is very thick, have fair to olive skin, and have green or brown eyes. Although these features or traits can be seen as stereotypes towards Calabrians and /or Sicilians and other southern Italians, they actually true in most cases. Such variations in complexion, hair color, and eye color are due to invasions, attacks, and settling of the Greeks, Arabs, Etruscans, Africans, and other tribes/peoples in southern Italy.
Joe: That kid Vincenzo's family is from Calabria and hes really hairy, but hes so pale! Shouldn't he be olive complected or have tan skin since he's Calabrian?
Lou: Not all Calabrians are darker skinned and hairy Lou. There were many invasions and settlings in Italy from light-skinned peoples and tribes, and dark-skinned peoples/tribes, which means different skin colors, eye colors, and just in general varied traits. Do some research pal. And by the way, that kid Cenzo looks Spanish in the summer he gets so tan.

Toe Rag
A toe rag was originally a foot wrapping used, since mediaeval times up until the mid-nineteenth century, to protect the foot from chafing by boots or shoes. As these were, quite literally, rags they weren’t usually washed, and so with use they became very smelly until they were thrown away. Because of the similarity in smell, toe rag also became the name applied to dried, salted cod or other things with a strong, unpleasant, fishy smell. It didn’t take that long before the name was applied to someone who was an obnoxious, unpleasant OIC.
