Wop is a pejorative racial slur for people from Italy that originated in the United States. Some say it is derived from the Neapolitan word "guappo" (often pronounced simply as "guap'" in the regional dialect), meaning a person who flaunts an overbearingly cocky and swaggering attitude.

- Wop è un termine denigratorio utilizzato nei paesi anglosassoni, in particolare negli Stati Uniti d'America, per designare le popolazioni dell'Europa sud-occidentale di lingua neolatina (con particolare rilievo gli italiani del sud), alle quali tradizionalmente sono attribuiti atteggiamenti spavaldi, volgari e violenti, quanto meno discordanti con l'immagine idealizzata dell'americano Wasp (White, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant) cui idealmente il Wop (bianco anch'egli, ma cattolico e di cultura mediterranea) faceva da contraltare (in ciò venendo equiparato razzisticamente agli irlandesi, con i quali costituiva quella che veniva chiamata white trash impiegata nelle mansioni più pericolose e umilianti o anche agli afroamericani .

In the past, it also may refer to a follower of guapparia, literally meaning bravery, i.e. , the ancient honour code of the Camorra, a criminal organization based in Naples and the Campania region, similar to the better-known Sicilian Mafia. In Southern Italy, the term "guappo" is still used, often sarcastically, to describe those young Italian men who try hard to act brave, play cool, court every pretty girl, and those that are arrogant to the point of inciting a fight. It was brought to the U.S. by early Italian immigrants from the region of Campania, who named those suspected to belonging to the Guapparia "Guappi", in a similar fashion Sicilian people used the term "Mafiosi". Widely used in Chicago where most immigrants from Campania settled, it was confused by non-Italian people to indicate Italians in general, like the word "Paesano". This slur was used by Welsh Assembly Member Alun Cairns on a live broadcast from Radio Cymru on Friday 13, June 2008, when he referred to the Italian Euro 2008 football team as "Greasy Wops". As a consequence, he resigned from office.
