In the Navy you are referred to as a Wog. If you cross the equator you become a shell back. If you cross the equator at the prime meridian you are a golden shell back. I am a golden shell back.
Cool. So you crossed the equator in southern Algeria. I suspect that’s not a place many Americans get to!
Oops, never mind. I was looking at the Tropic of Cancer on this map, not the equator. I was thinking you must’ve flown over it. But where the heck were you going??? That’s when I spotted the equator and realized my mistake.
“In the Navy you are referred to as a Wog”
In my day, it was polliwog.
Wog was an uncomplimentary term for a west Asian, coined because limey newspapers didn’t want to print “worthy oriental gentleman” all the time.
