Things that wogs will never do...

reply to post by UniverSoul


what the hell is a wog? Well whatever it is that was a funny clip, what show is that from? going from the accent I'd suspect it's an Aussie production. I fell in love with the"Seekers war on everything" from a clip posted here so it can't hurt to try another.

Is WOG a term of an Italian Australian?

Scientologists use the term "wog" in a somewhat derogatory manner for any non-scientologists. Kind of like "sheeple" is used.

Can't be that though can it?

well this isnt the uk

A contributor from RantMedia, an independent media network uses the term wog. It is to describe anyone that isn't a Scientologist. His name is Sean Kennedy and he has put out alot of "interesting" stuff over the years.

Noi, Wog is a derogatory word for African descent people. The Golly Wog dolls is were it comes from.

This is highly racist and i'm surprised it hasn't already been pulled.

people please read the comments
i didnt mean to cause offence as i didnt know it had other meanings. its a common word in australia and i dont think you would find a black person making jokes about blacks racist would you.

didnt know there were so many meanings for the word wog.
wonder why?

"Wog" is also slang for polliwog an old naval term meaning a sailor who has not crossed the equator and been inducted into King Neptune's Realm through a secret initiation to become a shellback.

I don't know about the other meanings, but the Scientology meaning comes from the Scientologists themselves. If it is used as an insult in other ways, I'm sure they also meant it as an insult to people that don't believe the same as them.

Yeah when I opened this I thought "uh oh....this is gonna be pulled, like that Jamaican woman complaining because her neighbour put a gollywog in the window after they had an argument".

I can appreciate it's an Aussie term for Italians but to me, the word still means blacks in racist terms due to how I was brought up and my geographical location.
