Crossword clues for wop

Douglas Harper's Etymology Dictionary
wop

derogatory for "Italian," 1912, American English slang, apparently from southern Italian dialect guappo "dandy, dude, stud," a greeting among male Neapolitans, said to be from Spanish guapo "bold, dandy," which is from Latin vappa "sour wine," also "worthless fellow;" related to vapidus (see vapid). It is probably not an acronym, and the usual story that it is one seems to date only to c.1985.

"Wop" (stylized "WOP") is a hip-hop song by J. Dash featuring pop rapper Flo Rida. First recorded in 2007, it was released in 2011 to serve as the lead single for J. Dash' album "Tabloid Truth", released in 2012.

While initially a minor hit in the United States on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart following the release of the album, "Wop" received renewed attention in March 2013 when it was prominently featured in a viral video created by pop singer Miley Cyrus, which featured her performing a twerking routine to the song. The popularity of the video, along with parodies and responses made by fans, influenced its re-emergence on the Billboard Hot 100 in March 2013, peaking at #51 on the Hot 100, and #14 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
