SoxFan76 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jun 20, 2006 -> 01:21 PM) 'Dego'?? Derogitory (sp?) term. I don't like it when non-Italians use it...but I don't get all worked up over it. Most people have no idea it's a racist term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangar18 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I know people who say they go just for the "good time", I can honestly say, its not really that much fun. For me of course. I hate that I have to get up to go find the beer guy (I wont drink bud, only old style if Im in the park there) because I end up missing so much of the game. Same with the bathroom. I try to time going to the bathroom with going to get beer, I can do both and at least not miss as much of the game as normal. I went to a Padres/DBacks game a few weeks ago at Petco with a fellow poster. I wanted to see the park again (my current favorite park), and quite honestly, wasnt as much fun without the SOX playing also. Rich kept saying it just wasnt the same going to a park just to go. Not sure how cub fans do it game after game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you let the Old Style guy know you're in, he'll find you and keep you full. They understand the difference between the beer drinkers from the bud *** yuppies.

This is true, I remember being in the UD for a game and he was wearing SOX & Cubs buttons. he looked exactly like Bobby Hill and was pretty popular, he never made it to another section with the Old Style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, "dego" shirt = tank top, or undershirt (usually white). Take it from someone who is half Italian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mplssoxfan Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 Up here in Minny, there aren't enough Italians to call it a "Dago shirt", so everyone calls it a "wifebeater". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take it from someone who is half Italian. No, a-shirt = white-beater...I just don't like that term either so I go with how they're labeled by Hanes and Jockey, and tank top or undershirt seems too broad... Hanes Jockey I've got some Italian blood in me too but I don't think that would make anyone's word more important in this situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steff Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 First.. it's dago, not dego ya boneheads.. A dago t is a sleeveless undershirt.

If a undershirt has no sleeves, then yes it is considered a dago t. If it has sleeves, it's just a plain old undershirt. Best definition I can find is here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wifebeater_%28shirt%29 And this is what comes up when I search dictionary.com..

That's the definition I grew up with, and that's how I spell the word, too. I called it a dago T for years before I even found out that it wasn't the actual name or that the word "dago" was derogitory. Now, on to more pressing issues. I will preface this by stating that I am about half Italian, and I will understand if it's deleted. What happens when an Italian guy's tire gets a flat? Dago wop, wop, wop.

Best definition I can find is here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wifebeater_%28shirt%29 From that very wikipedia page: Wife beater, also wifebeater, and sometimes abbreviated as simply beater, is a slang term used in North America, Scotland, Australia, New Zealand and various other places to refer to an A-shirt , tank top, singlet, or 'muscle shirt' when worn as a sole, outer layer as opposed to being worn as an undershirt. My point being that I did not need to be corrected when calling it an "a-shirt." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not referance "a-shirt" in any of my posts, so your apology is accepted. Stop trying to pull me into your termanology disagreement with 72 and I wont have to point out your behavior.

NorthSideSox72 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Jeez. I was just pointing out that a "dago/dego" shirt has no sleeves. I guess I should have left this thread alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
