Germanic Guido

Guido with the hard G is the Germanic variant of the Italian version. A Germanic Guido is usually from Europe and will most likely never set foot on American soil due to the fact that the Italian version is a complete disaster there. The Germanic Guido has a dark sense of humor and is mostly considered insane, although accepted by most as an okay person.

Germanic Guido being defined:

Person 1: Did you see how Guido blew up his desk with a stash of fireworks?
Person 2: Yea, they should lock him up or something.
Person 1: Ah well, at least he's the Germanic variant.
