Wog is a racial slur in Australian English applied to people of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern ethnicity, such as Southern Europeans and Levantines (e.g. Italians, Greeks, Serbs, Turks, Lebanese, Maltese, etc.). These ethnicities were perceived by the majority population as contrasting with the larger predominant Anglo-Celtic Australians.
Anglos: âHey look over there! The wogs are coming!â
Wogs: *Swagger into the premises*
