Terrone (plural Terroni)
Slur for southern Italians. A terrone is exactly the stereotypical
wop.
Insult widely used by northern Italians to call those living in the southern (some would even say
mid-south) part of
Italy.
Northern Italian: "These terroni have given us such a
bad name... going around acting like the terroni/wops they are, you see how everyone identifies the entire
country with them!?"
Terrone: "We got the sun, pizza,
spaghetti and the sea! beautiful italia!"
Northern Italian: "You lowlife terrone! Go back south!"
