Meanings and Usages of WOP

Wop is an Italian mispronunciation. The slang term “Wop” was first used in 1912 and is related to the Latin vapidus. The word itself is not an acronym, but it was used by some Americans as a derogatory term for Italians. Its etymology is messy and not entirely accurate.

There are many meanings for the word WOP. Each one varies based on its context. It is often used in music. It is also used in television and film. You’ll find the meaning of WOP and examples of usage here.

In order to apply WOP globally, scholars need to examine the sociocultural contexts of work-related phenomena. These contexts can reveal underlying ideologies, values, and beliefs. Such research is essential to avoid misunderstandings and misapplications of findings. A study on the benefits to working in Western capitalist settings would be misleading, for example, if it were applied in another context.
