Father Mulcahy refers to himself as 'Daygo' Red?
I'm not sure. Daigo is an Italian slur. Mulcahy is Irish.
share*beep* Red" is a derogatory term for cheap Italian red wine. I think that in Father Mulcahy's case, it's a reference to him being a Roman Catholic priest with red hair.

In the novel, the Chaplain is nicknamed after that same cheap Italian red wine he used as sacaramental wine, which they called "Daygow Red"...
"Always choose the lesser of two weevils!"
Yes, in the novel it's a nickname based on his red hair and the cheap Italian sacramental wine - but it is spelled *beep* Red."
shareOoooh, you got bleeped out. Okay, let's do it this way. His nickname (used affectionately because they like him) is spelled Daygo (drop the Y) Red. Got it?
Hopefully that made it through.
It got bleeped, rightfully so, because it's an ethnic slur, no different than the "N-word". I'm Italian (first generation American). My father heard that word and others as unsavory all throughout his time in the mostly-Irish college he attended. It's ugly.
Let us take the risks of peace upon our lives, not impose the risks of war upon the world.
Mulcahy is half Irish, half Italian.
