Origin and meaning

Stereotype
In the USA, especially in the New York area, the name Guido has long been synonymous with young Italian-American men who were said to have a special macho attitude. The name also became a cliché for a style that was characterized by tight trousers, unbuttoned shirts, mustache and pomadized hairstyle. The name is now used more as a stereotype for male club visitors.
