    Check out the one that happened here a couple of years ago. This word isn't a term here really nor is the term "wog" which like pom for the British is a term of endearment for Italians.

    Sorry, Queenie, but I believe you are mistaken. The pejorative term for an Italian is 'Wop' not 'wog' which is a diminuitive
    of golliwog and a generic term for 'black people', now a term wholly shunned

    Not so Sidders, down here I know many people of European/Mediterranean extraction who refer to themselves affectionately as wogs. It may well be dying out as those generations disappear; even the indigenous folk call themselves blackfellas and us honkys whitefellas. I don’t think we’re as precious here, although the new lot coming through who are barely sure of their own gender will change all of that in time.

    That is shocking, it is now denying the right of someone to be offended.
