A racially offensive term for a black person.( see also Mooley ) Deriving from the italian word for "eggplant". Many believe the comes from slave masters in italy calling them eggplants, because when the black folk were working in the fields their heads would only be showing thru the crops.

Get the mulignan mug.It is definitely not a Sicilian word because my Sicilian relatives never heard of it. Since they say my Italian is a Neapolitan dialect - even though my ancestors were from Sicily- I would say it is probably a Neapolitan expression.
However, it must not be strictly a racial slur, although I learned it as such.
The comic song, Pepino the Mouse, by Lou Monte, uses this word to describe Pepino. I doubt if Monte would have used it if it were only a racial slur. There must be some alternative meaning.
Lou Monte sang in the Calabrian, Neapolitian and Sicilian dialects.
