wog
/wɒɡ/
EN
An offensive, derogatory slur historically used by white people to refer to a person from Southern Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, South Asia, or other non-Western, non-white regions.
This term is widely considered an offensive racial slur that should not be used in modern conversation.
Etymology
First recorded in the early 20th century in British colonial slang, its exact origin is uncertain. It is widely thought to be a shortening of "golliwog" or an acronym of erroneous phrases like "worthy Oriental gentleman", though the acronym origin is largely considered a later backronym.
