Just happen to see this while doing a search for some things about Italians and Italy.
"There is a really bad word that the northern Italians have created for the southern Italians : "terroni."
This word is very bad, it's as bad as saying the "n" word to a black person."
"Terroni is a pejorative term for southern Italians slung mostly by hooligans in the North, a rough word
meaning “peasant” but with strong overtones of “mud people” that I’ve mostly heard directed at
Napoli soccer players by ultras in Bergamo and Milano."
