Derogatory term/slur used by Europeans (especially Italians) to refer to Italian-Americans in an English-speaking contest. Comes from seppo + pepperoni and is used when Italian-Americans who don't know anything about Italy and actual Italians claim that they're fully Italian and get offended when told they're not Italian if they're from
Brooklyn or Chicago. Apparently Americans are super proud to be
American but get mad when you say they're not also another nationality
smh
*normal conversation between 2 actual Italians from Italy*
Person 1: hey isn't it crazy how everyone outside of Italy just sucks at making pasta?
Person 2: I know, it's crazy. Not even Italian restaurants do it right abroad, it's always too bland or overcooked or the flavors they use make no sense.
Sepperoni: nooooo I can make perfect pasta!!!! I'm Italian just like you guys cause my great-great-grandma came from which is totally an Italian dishSicily and she taught me how to cook perfect
spaghetti with meatballs, which is totally a
real Italian thing! You boil some water, cook the
spaghetti without salt, drain them, put them in a plate and pour the
sauce and the meatballs on
top! That's Amore! *random hand gestures that make no sense to
real Italians*
Person 2: you fucking idiot this is not how to make pasta. you're not Italian at all, you don't even speak the damn language!
Person 1: *interrupts person 2* chill out bro, he's just another stupid sepperoni
