Every geographical hotbed for guidos claims ownership rights over the origin of the guido fist pump. Long Islanders claim they invented it. The Jersey guidos say the art of pumping one's fist in the air to the beat of some house song rests on their shoulders.
And when the Staten Island and Howard Beach guidos get in on the discussion, well, it's a Pier 6 brawl. We're talking newscaster rumble like in "Anchorman."
But this is no time to start another "War at the Shore" over who rightfully has ownership rights to the guido fist pump, or GFP. Rather, let everyone unite at a guido summit like in the opening scene of "The Warriors" and embrace and teach the GFP to everyone. Below is the instructor's guide to help pass this dance move -- it's more art than dance -- to the masses.

I am totally offended by the reference to Guidos. I am an Italian American, and just the use of the word Guido upsets me! You should be ashamed of yourself.
I demand an apology and the removal of this ridiculous article

Hi im Tony......"waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
Is this a unisex dance move or is there a corresponding Guidette move?
As an Italian-American...that only thing that offends me about this is how obscenely idiotic this topic is to write about...for your own sake, please find something more interesting to talk about.
you are right on target! one thing missing though from your animation... GOLD CHAIN. badabing
Hey Tony.....did you write that email while doing the 45 degree angle fist pump?
why isn't he wearing a wife beater. he needs a wife beater t-shirt and a gold chain, like jimbo mentioned.
i do like the terminator glasses though
i thought about that choice of clothing, but went with the sleeveless look instead, figuring it was a bit, uh, classier?
i'm thinkin' of rockin this move in Ocean Bay Park this summer, or the Nutty Irishman, where it would be appreciated the most
that's the spirit, vincenzo! they'll eat it up at flynn's.
Is the Over the Head fist pump for use when he orders Jager bombs and "grinds on all the sluts" in the bars? Check out "my new haircut" on youtube.
i'm sure tony and mario will be going to flynns on their jet skiis leaving hair gel slicks across the bay. then i'm certain that they'll be submarining around the joint in their little water shoes and their spring suit wetsuits with...and this is key... their gold chains on the outside! heyy ooooh! fugettaboutit!!!
OK THIS IS NEWS? WTF!!! IF ASIANS CAN BITCH ABOUT EGG ROLL JOKES AND GET MY FAVIORITE SHOW THROWN OFF THE AIR WHY THE HELL DO I HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THIS ONLY FOR NOTHING TO BE DONE ABOUT IT?
I am fist pumping at my desk right now (submarine style, so as to not offend my co-workers) while listening to Coro and yearning for Sunday afternoons at Tempts in Seaside.
I just popped in Godfather I, to the scene with Connie's wedding at the Corleone estate. Notice how that salty oldtimer is rocking the "submarine" GFP when he gets up near the mic... classic!!
I'm not ashamed to admit that I do catch myself fist pumping every once in a while. Just like NJ Fist Pump I am currently doing the "submarine" at my desk to some TKA reminiscing of KTU's Beatstock
don't be ashamed, Diana.
pump it out all day long!
How much more awesome was KTU Beatstock this past summer because of the rain?
wop wop wop wop wop wop
ok seriously you italians need to CHILL on the hairgrease. we are having a huge problem with grease going down the drain and messing up the city sewers. italians showering is just as bad as pooring bacon grease down the drain.
this Guido phenomenon isn't just limited to people of Italian origins - it can refer to any asshole from Jersey or Long Island who fist pumps (and thinks it's so cool that they'd actually argue over who invented this????), blows out their hair until they look like Heat Miser from the cartoon, wears orange tanner and is a wannabe Mafia member. i got no problem with eife beater tank and the excessive amount of gold jewelry - well maybe too much is a bad thing.
i did an article on it - see if you can identify yourself: http://jeffircink.blogspot.com/2008/04/long-island-guido-phenomenon.html
thing is, these Guidos are proud of what they look like and really have no idea that they look like douches and that the rest of the world is laughing at them (or they don't care) and the women out East in the Jersey and Long Island areas are attracted to them still - which shows how dumb they are as well. good - keep it on the East coast so it doesn't spread.

Lighten up, everyone gets mad when an italian gets called a guido, but no one cares about terms used for other races, its a joke, and guidos (your little growin up gotti wanna be fags), not italians, suck at life. Put them in front of a real italian and that little punk will get the gel smacked outta his hair.
