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

Wrong again.

At the beginning of its use, 'Wog' carried no connotations of abuse or insult with it, and referred only to the young Indians who went to study civil service in the UK during the Raj.

My, how interesting.  Perhaps you should read this entry on the term "wog" at Wikipedia, Herbie.  It might educate you.  It might even correct your change your thinking on the matter.   Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Someone said we could not judge a person's Aboriginality on their skin colour.  Why isn't that applied in the matter of Pascoe?  Tsk, tsk, tsk...   Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Brian - I have read books on India, and as against the 'information' contained in cheap-and-nasty 'populist' sources such as 'Wikipedia', I think I'll stick with the version I discovered in the weighty tomes that were required reading at school.

The matter is no longer up for discussion.

Consider yourself dismissed.

Precisely.

You may now leave the room. Close the door quietly behind you.

Incidentally, the 'Australian-English' version of the meaning of 'wog' is so far out in the boondocks the bus doesn't go that far. Ask my Northern European Dutch neighbour if she and her husband were exempt from Aussies calling them 'wogs'.

It is. I've been wondering about that.
