Slang term for San Diego, California. The nickname was adopted by World War II era Sailors and Marines, popularized by the San Diego Chapters of the Hells Angels and Mongols motorcycle clubs, and is commonly used by many urban, blue collar, and working class residents of San Diego County. It has been bastardized to "Daygo" by the Millennial generation.
Everyone knows you're not a Dago original if you spell it "D-a-y-g-o."

In addition to all of the negative meanings, it's ALSO a slang nick-name for San Diego. Not someone from here, but for the city itself.
