Just discovered the etymology of WOP isn’t without papers actually.
Turns out it was a derivative of “guapo” (pronounced wh-oppo) which many southern Italian men would call each other affectionately in greeting. (Guapo meaning good looking). People looking to make fun of Italian immigrants shortened it to wop.
