Could you teach me how to Guido?

Guido is a slang term for a lower-class or working-class urban Italian-American. Originally used as a demeaning term for Italian-Americans in general. More recently its used to describe Italians who conduct themselves as thugs with an overtly macho attitude. Although Italians self identify as "Guido" it’s still considered a derogatory term. Clothing associated with Guidos including gold chains, saint medallions shirts such as Plain Ts, muscle shirts and Leather Jackets. Hair style Includes slicked black hair in form of a pompadour, blowouts and fauxhawks usually heavily gelled. Many times on the television show Jersey Shore is it demonstrated that the “Guido Fist Pump” is the only way to look cool while dancing. Many Guidos  take pride in personal fitness and having a good body with a very distinctive tan.
