wog

Short for golliwog - a doll characterised by black skin, white rimmed eyes, red lips and frizzy hair.

Wog became racist slang in the UK to describe black people and later in Aus. to describe darker skinned Aussies.

Dude, it's really not cool to call a person a wog!

moslem

An alternative spelling for muslim and pronounced the same as muslim.

The 'o' in moslem is pronounced the same as it is in words like 'woman' and 'bosom'.

Moslem was the preferred spelling until the first half of the 20th century

Moslem and muslim are pronounced the same way; upon hearing either word you wouldn't know they were spelt differently.
