An Italian term meaning outsiders, them, or just non-Italians in general. Not really a derogatory word it really just meant non-Italians mostly without a negative connotation. Used mostly 1940s and 1950s for the Irish, German, Polish, and Jewish.
For me, I am sure that for most second generation Italian-American children who grew up in the '40s and '50s, there was a definite distinction drawn between US and THEM. We were ITALIANS! Everybody else -- the Irish, German, Polish, Jewish - they were the "Medegones (MED-E-GONES)."

Get the medegones mug.Many of us — mostly total strangers — remember the exact same events with the exact same details. However, our memories are different from what’s in history books, newspaper archives, and so on.
This isn’t a conspiracy, and we’re not talking about “false memories.” Many of us speculate that parallel realities exist, and we’ve been “sliding” between them without realizing it.

Get the Mekdes mug.The best friend a girl could ever have. She's a badass bitch who can't be tamed and all the guys are in love with her. She's happy with being single so don't try to set her up on a blind date. She's a beautiful person who has insecurities and you should remind her everyday how gorgeus she is. she also has a really really soft side and if you make her cry her best friend will murder you. If you ever find a Melodee, keep her one of your best friends.
