From Diego..Originally Spanish (James, Jacob) but widely applied to Portuguese and Italians (and those of similar appearance). Derogatory.

The word 'dego' stemmed from Diego, who was Christopher Columbus' son. The actual spelling, that no one uses any longer, is D'ego. It is not derogatory, if you are educated and realize from where and why that terminology originated. It has NOTHING to do with being 'paid as the day goes.'

A person of Italian descent generally accompanied by the basic features:brn hair,brn eyes,tan complexion,almost always over-abundance of body hair.
The degos are far from being a dying breed.

Dego (Day-go) is a term used to refer to people pf italian descent, because when italians immigrated to the united states and worked under the irish they wanted to get paid as the "day goes" by intstead of at the end of the week, so you get dego.

Derived from the french word "degueulasse" which means disgusting, "dego" encompasses anything that is cheap and sickening. A dego person is usually ill groomed and trashy. Further, he or she has haneous taste . Dego people are usually poor and dumb although there are exceptions. A dego place is somewhere grimy, dirty and filled with dego peeps.
