Guido / Ë É¡ w iË d oÊ / is a slang term, often derogatory, for a working-class urban Italian American. The guido stereotype is multi-faceted. Originally, it was used as a demeaning term for Italian Americans in general.
In the olden days, when troops marched in formation into combat, the guidon was used to alert the commanding general to the disposition of his subordinate units during a battle - which ones were under stress, which were still in reserve, which were moving, and which were stationery.
