Slur of the Day
- Wog
- (UK and Commonwealth) a generic term for any swarthy or dark-skinned foreigner. Possibly derived from “golliwogg“[201] In Britain, it usually refers to dark skinned people from Asia or Africa, though any truly xenophobic Englishman knows that “the Wogs begin at Calais“. Wog is also a backronym for Worthy Oriental Gentleman. In Australia the term “wog” is usually used to refer to Mediterranean Europeans (Spaniards, Italians, and Greeks) and Near Eastern or Middle Eastern people (Turks, Arabs and Persians) although it can be used for some Eastern Europeans (Bosnians, Macedonians, Serbians, Croatians, or Albanians).
