A person of
Irish and Italian decent. Typically 50%
Irish and 50% Italian. Known more as a derogatory term, or
joke depending on the context of the statement. Folks with mixed Italian-Irish can be found predominately on the East Coast, with larger groups congregating in the Tri-state area (New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, etc). Also "McGuido" comes from merging the word "Mc" (a derogatory term for Irish folks in the early 20th century) and "
Guido" (a derogatory term for Italian descent males that frequent nightclubs in the vain hopes of picking up women, they are also obnoxious among other things).
