"Guinea" is an American slang term for an Italian. At the time of massive Italian [immigration] to the U.S. in the late 19th and early 20th centurys, most Americans lived on farms, and used a large fowl called a Guinea to keep the garden and lawns free of bugs and ticks, which they ate in great numbers. A flock of Guineas "spoke" in a rapid, excited manner, and the newly arrived Italian [immigrants] spoke in a fast emotional manner that reminded [the Americans] of the sound that a Guinea fowl made, so the newcomers were soon dubbed "Guineas" by the local people.
