Ha folks, My apologies - I keep forgetting small details like the fact that not everyone grew up in Oz a hundred or so years ago like me!
Wog as used there, is a generic term for bacteria/infective medium. But, I have been unable to determine HOW "wog" came to mean bacterial infection. Vis: "I can't go to work today - I have the (bloody) wog", translates as " I have a cold/flu/(hangover) ". NB: "Bloody" is not specific - it is used simply for emphasis = "very bad". Can also be used as positive emphasis: " Bloody good day!" BUT see my last post! Responding to Harsha..................................... he is also correct. Cheers, John HAPPY?
