WOP Italians High class Italian. Stands for "With Out Papers." Started when there was a big Italian emigration to the U.S., and many were coming in illegally (with out papers). Also could mean "Working On Pavement", or refer to "guappo," the Italian word for handsome.
Addition: many nationalities came in with out passports.

Holy shit! About 10 years ago I heard a skinhead call a black fella a "moon cricket" and a big brawl ensued. I laughed through the whole thing, I just couldn't figure out what was wrong with being called a moon cricket. I thought he made it up on the spot. Apparently not.
