You know you're a guido/guidette when...
Okay, I am a NATIVE NEW YORKER. I was raised with my Italian side of my family on The Lower East Side of Manhattan - (Little Italy) me and my family are not Guido's and Guidettes BUT some of my best friends are. Watching "The Jersey Shore" for me is like seeing old friends of mine - I hate that some people say the cast "is not Italian" - YES THEY ARE!!!! They are Italian/Americans from Jersey. It's kinda like the BREAKFAST CLUB - everyone has a label - there's the 'smart one', 'the prep', 'the nerd' etc... Guidos are a classification unto themselves. I created a little cheat sheet to help you distinguish them from your everyday Italians and hey, who knows you might be one yourself... HOW TO KNOW IF YOU'RE A GUIDO/GUIDETTE: GUIDETTE: You have extremely long, usually fake nails - painted in a bright color (usually some shade of Fuchsia or White) and talking about how you chose that nail color is a whole conversation in itself...
