a racial slur against an italian or italian-american. correcting a definition made previously, italian-americans DO call eachother this occasionaly just like black people use the "n**ga" with eachother. i am italian-american and i do not get offended when i am called this by my otha italian friends but it is pretty insulting when someone not italian says this. so if ur not italian DO NOT USE THIS WORD!

besides the racist slur, it's also an african country. the slur doesn't make sense actually, since guinea means "woman" in it's native tounge. anyway, it's a former french colony that actually won its independence through refurendum, not revolution. howwever, it's been failed coup after fail coup for the last 15 years due to terrible gov't. it's now considered a failed state.

The slur that Bram the Talking Wonder Dog's creator uses on the bright blue blog when he was delivered a whamline reminding him of his House of Pain E-Zine appearance. The response came with a rapid-barrage of Irish-American slurs as he had to look a few of them up as some came in Italian.
What did that Chicago based Guinea say to me when invoking that taunt? The slimy fucking-shit-for-brains invoked something where he's relentless when he fights back.

The light blue blog posting to Tumblr: "fottuto Folletto ubriaco"
What the hell was that? Did he throw a double homicide slur at me?

An Italian - when Italians first came to the US, they were some of the most industrious and hardest workers. When times were tough and a hard or low-scale job needed to be done, an Italian would be willing to do it for the menial wage of a Guinea (a reference to an old, nearly worthless, British coin).
"Don't do that, sir, that's disgusting! We'll get some Guinea to take care of that for you."

Ghinea was the ancient currency with which the 4 maritime Republics (Venice,Genoa, Pisa and Amalfi), used to trade around the Meiterranean

The gold used to make the Ghinea came from Guinea, hence the name.

Italians are called Guinea because they were great traders before and throughout the Renaissence and made most of their wealth with the Arab Muslim world.
