WogLife
http://www.wog.com.au |
|

WogLife is the brainchild of Chris Zissiadis and Steve Bogdanovski, and is dedicated to Australia's wogs (Italians, Greeks, Lebanese, etc). A history of the word "wog" shows that it has undergone some transformation from a term of abuse to a badge of honour, and a marketing tool. The site aims to give members of all wog communities the chance to laugh at themselves, discuss issues and share experiences. Of special interest are the humour, attitude, Dear Effie, and WogLife sections. Be warned about the colloquial language. |
