Once upon a time, in the 80s, I go to a fannish costume to-do in my normal party clothes, which remain much the same to this day: black slacks, black T, and a sharp Italian double-breasted blazer. Some big, dumb Green Beret wannabee in a Batman getup (complete with fake muscley chest) comes up to me and says kinda hostile-like: "You're not in costume. This is a costume party."
So I says, "it is too a costume. I'm SUPER-WOP!"
Tough Batman guy frowns. "I'm Italian," says he, sort of squaring up to me.
"So am I," I lie.
He says menacingly, "Really? You don't look Italian."
"My family is from Sicily, so we're fair-haired," I lie, with absolutely no idea if this claim bears any relation to any fact on this planet.
"Oh. That's OK, then," he says, and turns to go.
"Just kidding," I says. "I just thought 'Super Wop' was a funny thing to say." Then I laugh in his face.
Batman fumes at me a minute then walks off, I dunno, to go beat up The Penguin or something.
