Etymology
The word ginzo is an offensive slang term that probably began as a way to label people of Italian background, maybe from the Italian name Gino or the city Genoa. A helpful way to remember it is to think of it as meaning 'an Italian person', which is why ginzo is considered highly offensive today.
