Are you saying what I think you're saying or are there places where that 'w' word isn't offensive?

in australia the " 'w' word" isn't offensive

"wogs" themselves use it

maybe it's just a culture difference...?

in Australia it's for Italians, and I think for Greeks too sometimes
It's a term of endearment :P
