What does "WOG" mean-?

wide open gas?

i know wot is wide open throttle. dunno, where was it used?

trey

Not dense; it means lots and lots of things. Most recently, World of Gamers.

If speaking of a person as a WOG, could be an aboriginal Australian or, generically, a dark-skinned (oriental).

My Best guess is "Wise old Geezer", as in Bob Hoover or the like

other possibilities: Woman of Gladness Wizard of Gadgets Wuzzles on Glue Wicker on Gauze With OUT George Wishful Old Gentlemen I assume there is some other reference material to help guess, but i found it much more fun to try without all the other stuff to work with.

I am sure it is an ebay thing such as NIB = New In Box WOG = Without Glass

Something like that................hope this helps.

On this newsgroup I would think it refered to the "without guesswork" publication. "Wog," was used as a racist term back in the 1800's, I think, by the Brits, when referring to the local populace.

I believe the origin of that one was WOGS, as in Workers On Government Service, from the colonial times of the British Empire. Since many of the WOGS in the Empire were darker skinned than the Brits of the time, the term became a somewhat generic epithet for people of color.

When crossing the Equator aboard ship, those who have not been initiated over the line are called "WOGS".

Short for Pollywogs.

sure it wasn't "WAG"?. That's kind of a shop technique.

WOG on a plumbing valve or fitting means water oil or gas,and is usually followed by a pressure rating number 600 (PSI) for example. USA rating.

Hahahahaha - "Western Oriental Gentleman", in reference to male humanity from India, Pakistan, etc.

And in case you were also wondering, "WOP" is not specifically an Italian slur, it means "WithOut Papers", in reference to immigrants, usually from countries recently torn by war and strife, who arrive on our doorstep in said condition. I guess that's what the immigration processing officers would write in the "passport details" column, and the acronym stuck.

To clarify another post further, Australian aboriginals are locally known as "BOONGS", because that's the sound they make bouncing off the 'Roo Bar, hahahaha (except Cathy Freeman, who usually cannot be caught from behind).

Ahhhh.... NOW I see. It seemed to make sense to other people so I re-read looking for that key word which in this case turned out to be "publication!" I've never heard of it, so the term made no sense. I now feel enlightened. WTF kind of publication is it anyway? :o)

WOG - "with other goods"

Common term in the auto/truck parts industry. Tells the picker/shipper this order should be married up with another.

We call that "piggybacking."
