The traditional definition of a guido is a “slang term for a working class or lower class urban Italian-American,” therefore the cast identifying themselves as “guidos” and “guidettes” automatically associated them with the Italian-American community.
What is guido culture?
The guido stereotype is multi-faceted. Originally, the term was used as a demeaning term for Italian-Americans in general. More recently, it has come to refer to working-class urban Italian-Americans who conduct themselves in an overtly macho manner or belong to a particular working-class Italian-American subculture.
How do I become a guido?
In order to be considered a Guido and to gain acceptance from fellow Guidos, one must prove one’s Italian ancestry and conform to the vernacular and life that comes with calling oneself a Guido. Guido males are characterized as “muscle-heads” with “fresh” haircuts, put together style, gold jewelry, and expensive cars.
