Similar to a "Gringo" in Mexican terminology, but originally a Native
American term from mountain Indians, pre-
Five Nations.
This is a word that means the lowest form of human. The word is also commonly used by Inner-city Italians, quite possibly adopted by the
rowdy, Italians who visited the friendly Natives.
A iWasichu/i is a "fat stealer", a Washi-Manu is
one who i"steals everything/anything/i and a Jamoche is a "iPOS with no morals/i"

"... Wait, there's more. After I shoot him in the knee I says to him, I says 'Yeah, I'm a wise-
