Stephen... WOG is typically from what I understand a very derogatory term... remember that scene in Lawrence of Arabia...
Here! Here! You! And where the hell do you think you're going to, Mister? LAWRENCE Eh, we're thirsty. SOLDIER Mr Lawrence, is it? LAWRENCE Yes. SOLDIER Are you going to the officer's bar, sir? LAWRENCE Yes. SOLDIER You can't take him in there, sir. OFFICER What do you think you look like? BAR MAN No, no, you mustn't! Not another! Go effendi! Go! Get out! You must get out! Get out! LAWRENCE We want two large glasses of lemonade! BAR MAN This is a bar for British Officers. LAWRENCE That's alright; we're not particular FREDDY Lawrence! Are you off your head? LAWRENCE No. Oddly enough, I'm not. OFFICER Now, look here, Lawrence, just clear out of here, will you? CROWD Go on, Lawrence, clear off! Get that boy out of here! OFFICER Pogo! We'll have this one out, anyway. CROWD Get out! Get that wog out of here! Yes, clear off! Go on, get the little wog out! BRIGHTON What's going on? OFFICER It's Lawrence, sir. LAWRENCE Lemonade with ice. BRIGHTON Well, explain yourself. LAWRENCE We've taken Aqaba. BRIGHTON Taken Aqaba? Who has? LAWRENCE We have. Our side in this war have. The wogs have. We have. He likes your lemonade.
(One of my all time favourite flicks BTW)
