  Ouch, I guess that "wog" does not have the same racist meaning in the US as it does in the UK :-(

    @jjgreen, what's WOG in the UK means? Overall, they only have changed BRO to WO and connect it with -grammer, came from (pro-grammer).

      It's a common racial slur for people from the Middle east and sometimes southern Europe.
