It says more about you than it does about me that you insist I use the word, when in fact I don't.

That would be believable, except that you have called me a wog several times over the years Cheesy

No need. You've come in late, so you haven't read my disclaimer.

"Teasing you has been a wicked pleasure of mine, I must confess, John. My apologies. I gave up smoking .. and then I gave up drinking .. and it left me with no vices at all to amuse myself with. Man does not live by bread alone, John. He needs to feel he's upsetting somebody somewhere just to feel alive".

Every time an ethnic calls me a 'Pom', or refers to me as a 'Pom' - which is a contraction of 'Pommy bastard' - this gives me the right to answer in like kind with the term 'wog'.

There is a difference between the terms 'Brit' and 'Pom' - and it's one of politeness on the one hand, and derision on the other.

Any smartarse wog who pretends he doesn't understand that - is lying.

idiot.

And if you think someone calling you a pom is calling you a pommie bastard, then you deserve to be called an idiot.

'Prisoner Of Mother England' - get it right next time.

So how about 'W.O.G' which is said to derive from 'Wily Oriental Gentleman' ?

If POMMY (Bastard) isn't an offensive term, then why should ethnics be offended by the term 'Wog'?

I once had a couple of ethnics come to me in the workplace to ask me if they should be offended by the term 'Wog' - and I found myself hesitating. I often heard ethnics ironically calling each other 'wog'.

When I arrived in Australia I was surprised to learn that it's okay to call someone a 'bastard' as a term of endearment - something that is totally unacceptable in the UK.

idiot.

So shall we get Aussie to check how many times since I arrived on this board you've gratuitously called me an 'idiot' because you disagreed with my comments?

Let's compare that with how many times I've put the word 'wog' your way.

Glass houses.

When you presume to lecture me on the subject of Australian terminologies, please bear in mind that I was Out There and functioning in society long before you were a microscopic piece of spaghetti in your father's eye before he had met your mother.

'Bloody Yugoslav' was a set piece that always went together.

I agree that 'Pommy' only very rarely now carries with it the binary 'Pommy bastard', but even so the word 'Pom' or 'Pommy' carries with it connotations of derision and contempt to a greater or lesser degree depending on the context.

I'd be interested in hearing other's opinion on this. Don't be afraid to contradict me if you believe meanings have shifted over the years.

not even close to similar. I actually don't care that you call me wog...

But when was the last time you saw me proclaim that I never call anyone an idiot?

Just think how sad that you've spent the last 80 years getting your terminology WRONG Grin

I suspect Herb that you actually (and foolishly) believed that you were above reproach. Now that I've opened your eyes to the truth, you are so disappointed in yourself that you're clambering for excuses to try and make yourself feel better.

Just cop it on the chin Herb. You have bigger issues to worry about than how often you call someone a wog.
