I started reading the comments and got bored and quit. I mean who really gives a shit, I don't. Was the movie entertaining or not that's all I care about. #Wordswillneverhurtme |
Wog was a term used by English army soldiers for people from the Mediteranean area ,meaning Western Oriental Gentlemen .Nothing to do with black heritage .Later picked up by Australian troops and used in reference to all the migrants from Italy and Greece that arrived in Australia. |
Nope. That's a well known case of a false etymology backronym. I.e. People making shit up, long after the fact, to try to explain something. Like SOS standing for Save Our Souls (it doesn't), Fornication Under Consent of the King being shorten to FUCK (never happened) or OK standing for 0 Killed (again a big N-O). |
Since we're commenting on the Movies section, do yourself a favour and watch Lawrence of Arabia. That is a 1962 film of a 1926 novel where the term is used multiple times; I'm not sure how well-versed you are in reading the room, but have a quick try and see how this word you claim to be gentleman is used here ... |
If the people complaining about Australians of Greek heritage creating many productions over the years with the word "wog" in it, the you had better sit down for this news. There is another popular series of Australian made shows called "Fat Pizza" & it's spin-offs such as "Swift & Shift Couriers" which was & still is being made by Australians of ethnic origin ie, not from the UK, who by the way still have their flag in the top corner of the Australian flag. And what a bloody great show that is, enjoyed by many Aussies, so much so that it went from being aired on the free to air Govt. SBS channel (the one created for 'ethnics', by 'ethnics') to recently Channel 7, one of the mainstream commercial free to air networks which is owned by one of Australia's richest men. Yep, they takes the absolute piss out of all stereotypes of people who make up the Australian population. Maybe the rest of the world can't laugh at itself like the Aussies do so well, which is a shame. |
I feel like if I laugh at these shows someone will call me Racist |
Guest 3696 .You so funny .Maybe you spend to long in library .Maybe walk outside see real world .Not life in dictionary ... |
Clearly, they don't realize the racial slur of the word Wog. You're telling me no one in the who production knew. As a person of black heritage, I find it hard to even see this title on here |
bloody hell the actual film producers are "wogs" greeks from the city of Melbourne in Australia. The ability to laugh at yourself is not racial in any way shape or form stop being so touchy. |
