Why are footballers' wives or girlfriends called WAGs?
Surely it should be WOGs. Is that still a racist term?
My father was called a WOG when he first came to Britain.
They tried to justify it by saying it stood for: Worthy Oriental Gentleman.
I think it means anyone who isn't British - "The WOGs start at Calais!", because my father is about as Oriental as a tea cup... which actually originates in China....erm...
What's in a name? A lot actually.
If you called a rose a stink-bomb no-one would want to smell it in the first place.
So I guess WAG is quite apt. What wags? A tail. On a dog.
