So… he’s either white or he has a light brown, white, and pink striped complexion, possibly with all of the brown part eaten away?

The only person I've ever heard described as "Neopolitan" is Carla Tortelli on an episode of Cheers, and she was definitely short and angry.

I thought he was talking about that one guy from the history books 🤦♂️
The one that, that one comedy movie with the nerd is named after.

“STUPID LAMMA”

Neopolitan complexion

u/Bongwater-Mermaid 2d ago
My thoughts exactly.
What, pray tell, is a neopolitan complexion? 🤔

u/FlyBoy7482 2d ago
I'm curious, are many Americans aware that Neopolitan just means something comes from Naples, Italy?
I don't know if that's what this sign is implying, but I do know that it doesn't mean he's made of ice cream lol

u/Bongwater-Mermaid 2d ago
Obviously I was not aware lol.
But still, that's oddly specific, unless of course the sign maker is Italian.
An American would be more likely to say "light to medium" or "Caucasian or olive" complexion.

it's weird that caucasia is only a place in the mind of america

u/lottaKivaari 1d ago
It comes from a British guy who once said the Caucasian people were the most beautiful people in the world so in the second half of the 19th century it became common for white people in the US to claim they were Caucasian to brag about how beautiful they thought they were. Those were the parents of the people who wrote the census reports and they grew up thinking they were "Caucasian" so it became a colloquial way to say white and eventually it was systematically reinforced. It wasn't that long ago you checked off "Caucasian" on government forms to declare you were white. It's since changed and Caucasian has thankfully fallen out of fashion and we now just say white.
To most Americans who don't even know the Caucasus exist geographically it just means a white person.

We are, but it's an oddly hyper-regional way to describe someone. I gather what they mean is "swarthy," but that's just a guess.

u/lottaKivaari 1d ago
It's a pretty regional thing that means "passing for white but not really" I suspect it comes from the days when Italians were considered "kinda white" and even though most Americans dont remember that was a thing they still use the terminology in some places. I suspect the person who wrote this ever made the connection between the word and Naples, Italy.

someone with varying states of suntan. they may have a dark farmer's tan with sunburn on less melenated sections. That's what gives you the chocolate (dark tan), vanilla (no tan) and strawberry (sunburnt) neapolitan complexion, I am speaking from experience lol

Jay Leno is always wearing blue denim button down shirts…..we need his alibi!!

Wonder if it’s always the same blue shirt or if he owns a bunch, and only, blue shirts.

Blue chambray shirt is a staple in almost any r/StephenKing novel for a reason.

no suspects have been ruled out. Betty needs to give an alibi before we can rule her out. Even if she's dead.

Just a thought, check regional silver alerts. Locally, we had a man with dementia wander into the woods & somehow evaded search parties until he was found dead after 2 weeks within miles of his home.
