The Wop Won! And I use that term endearingly...

Wop

Wop is a pejorative slur used to describe Italians, or people descended from Italians.^[1]

Etymology

According to Merriam-Webster its first known use was in the United States in 1908.^[2] The dictionary is unambiguous that it originates from a southern Italian dialect term guappo, meaning thug, derived from the Spanish term guapo, meaning handsome, via dialectical French, meaning ruffian or pimp.^[3] It also has roots in the Latin vappa, meaning wine gone flat.^[2]

For the 1st time ever two Italians fought it out

for a Major Championship!

Really cool stuff if you were watching the US Open.

The 33 year old Champion then annonced her retirement.

 Flavia Pennetta. I am sure you never heard of her before...

Congratulations from The Pea Blog Flavia!
