The term dago when used by Italians usually means "overly" Italian.

Are your shoes Italian? Cuz wherever they go, dago. Ha.
I'm hardly mad about it. I just have never heard the term used so flippantly and was under the impression it was a slur. I'm not Italian and just never knew it was an appropriate thing to say.
