Rumor: Tony DeAngelo being traded back to Carolina next month but he also could not be.

This is so arbitrary. Just push the f***ing trade through

Your first mistake is believing there's a trade to push through

This is the wop hand gesture for "I can't believe what I'm hearing."

oh I know the hand gestures

As far back as my family has been able to find, my heritage is 100% Italian. One side is from northern Italy, the other from Sicily.

Bloody hell, this board is getting pretty nasty. I'd never even think of saying insulting language about my Italian mates, let alone type it on a social media board.

Shane Gillis had a bit where he brought up that “Italians are the last group you can openly make fun of”. Anytime i hear any kind of Italian jokes I think of that now

I’m also Italian. For the record, my hand gesture to post ratio is ~8:1.

(My people are still not natural skaters.)

The origin of the term is partially due to Italians using it to jokingly refer to themselves. It’s basically a bastardization of an Italian slang word — guappo.

The without papers thing is an urban myth.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Wait a damn minute. Limey is a pejorative too.

A favorite ancestry find was my great great grandfather. He got here in 1890. He spoke English and went by George in every census until one in the '40s, when he was suddenly "Giorgio" and spoke only Italian. I am 100% sure he answered the door for the census taker and didn't want to deal with it on that day lol.

Tony DeAngelo is a fake Italian and I will die on that hill. He's a "Jersey Shore" style Italian. We disown that mamaluke*

Is it good to trade a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th for a guy, only to trade him back to his previous team a year later for a 7th round prospect (while still eating a big chunk of his salary)?

Abruzzi and Sicily for me

This statement right here is the difference between a good GM and an abysmal failure - I present to you CF

Well shit I am part Irish so when can we start making fun of the English?

 

[Lord Defect]

You all want to get rid of a racist but all I see here are various terms for various ethnic groups. Trade yourselves people.
f***ing mongrels.
