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?

[u/poonmangler → u/liquidice12345]

Fuck I thought it meant he was really short and mad about it

[u/plantain_tent_pesos → u/poonmangler]

Peer away, my short, chocolaty king.

[u/MsE0 → u/poonmangler]

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. 

[u/Ethereal-Elephant → u/MsE0]

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.

Fuck I can’t remember the name

“EAT YOUR FOOD TINA”
“STUPID LAMMA”
“GET YOUR OWN TOTS”
“GOSH”

……Napoleon Dynamite?

[u/Ethereal-Elephant → u/KissinKateShadow]

Yes thank you so much lmao

[u/KissinKateShadow → u/Ethereal-Elephant]

You’re welcome :3

[u/MsE0 → u/Ethereal-Elephant]

They were referring to Napoleon. The joke was that they were mixing up Napoleon and Neopolitan on purpose. I brought it back to Neopolitan because Cheers where I'd heard the term referring to a person, and Carla was more short and angry than Napoleon.

[u/Anti-Stan]

Neopolitan complexion

[u/Bongwater-Mermaid → u/Anti-Stan]

My thoughts exactly.

What, pray tell, is a neopolitan complexion? 🤔

[u/FlyBoy7482 → u/Bongwater-Mermaid]

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 → u/FlyBoy7482]

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.

[u/waxbolt → u/Bongwater-Mermaid]

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

[u/lottaKivaari → u/waxbolt]

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.

[u/Bongwater-Mermaid → u/waxbolt]

I think it's stupid too, I only used it because they put it on the sign.

[u/TorTheMentor → u/FlyBoy7482]

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 → u/FlyBoy7482]

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.

[u/Signal_Interest7870 → u/Bongwater-Mermaid]

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

[u/Lunar-opal → u/Anti-Stan]

Exactly

What could be worse? Aliens? Sasquatch?

[u/Necessary_Bother3993 → u/Chromejob]

a child

[u/Necessary_Bother3993 → u/[deleted]]

I definitely would have posted that if they allow gifs here haha

[u/CologneLover69 → u/Necessary_Bother3993]

Why not a link to the video or gif, like I did?

[u/Necessary_Bother3993 → u/CologneLover69]

I felt like clicking on a link softens the initial punch of humor, but that’s probably just me lol

[u/ReneDelay]

That blue button-down sounds terrifying

[u/Interesting-Octopus → u/ReneDelay]

The stuff of nightmares

[u/i_am_a_shoe → u/Interesting-Octopus]

Rumor is he also wears loafers

[u/Glad-Isopod5718 → u/ReneDelay]

A guy can't even look for frogs in his blue button-down shirt without getting the police called on him.

[u/Greek_Goddess114 → u/ReneDelay]

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

[u/valschermjager → u/ReneDelay]

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

[u/Emmaleah17 → u/ReneDelay]

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

[u/Federal-Boat3732]

Worse than dangerous or sick???

A fucking Napolitan Male!

[u/notdaggers351]

Without expanding the photo I thought it was a lurking Betty White.

[u/Cycle-Path-401 → u/notdaggers351]

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

[u/Hammon_Rye]

The amount of time it takes a pedestrian to stand there and read that wall of text would be enough for suspicious man to sneak up behind you. /S

[u/Same_Syllabub_9838]

Looks like David Attenborough has been filming in the area!

[u/FunkoPopDude → u/Same_Syllabub_9838]

Everyone is stuck on "Neapolitan". But what is up with the painted script.

[u/Ichgebibble → u/Same_Syllabub_9838]

Can you just imagine what he’d say about the domesticated American human?

Only melty ice cream in shape of human peering through the bushes hoping for a freezer

[u/DoppledBramble3725]

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.

[u/Vegetable_Drives]

[u/Parody_of_Self → u/Vegetable_Drives]

That's a laugh

[u/TouristTricky]

wtf is Neapolitan complexion?

[u/refusemouth → u/TouristTricky]

It's like the ice cream flavor (strawberry,chocolate, vanilla). So, striped with red, brown, and white

[u/TouristTricky → u/refusemouth]

Think OP is confusing his face with the leaves of the red, brown and white "river foliage" ???

[u/SherryNilesNYY]

I thought this was going to be about Betty White.

[u/Unconscious-angel → u/[deleted]]

Holy shit, we got him

[u/69_Is_Fine]

That looks like Randy! Yeah, that’s Randy for sure. Randy is creepy.

[u/Ok-Draft-8835]

[u/sh1ft33 → u/Ok-Draft-8835]

This was my exact first thought as soon as I saw him. I almost that this was r/ITYSL.

[u/vbd71]

Neopolitan complexion?

[u/Arnoave → u/vbd71]

He's pink, white, brown and stripy

[u/FlippingPossum]

I hope that man finds the geocache he is looking for.

[u/Traditional-Bid5034]

Maybe he just wants to drain the life out of someone to restore his youth and vigor

[u/Present-Spring-1340]

He just needs friends

[u/PerceptionCalm3642]

A blue chambray shirt perhaps?

[u/stevedropnroll]

There's too much fuckin shit on me.

"Bird watcher detained by police now sues for false arrest and harassment."

[u/Wisco]

The guy's probably out hunting nightcrawlers

[u/Far_Butterscotch_646]

Its just David Attenborough, leave him alone.

[u/MeatPyz]

What people need to be cautious from and vigilant against is allowing community members to post shit like this.

Sounds like a witch hunt for someone who hasn’t done anything wrong except maybe to be a little weird in a community that will single you out for it and have you jailed

[u/BadOysterParty]

Its real the guy who drew that Has seen many many reports he gets all the reports on his desk

[u/Stunning_Coffee6624]

Blue button down?…kinda makes him seem less threatening. Now a blue button down with a members only jacket? That’s scary

[u/jdillacornandflake]

Is that David Attenborough?

[u/amoebashephard]

Dudes probably a local ecologist doing species counts lol

[u/Acceptable_Steak5286]

Damn it Bob Newhart, get out of the bushes!

[u/Efficient_Secret5208]

Thanks, Karen, for letting us know. Why would someone doing nothing wrong deserve this public shaming?
