from encarta

wog [ wog ]

noun

. ... .

now, my glib friend, having read those definitions, do you really think you are serving freepers, or conservatisim any justice by using racially inflammatory language for some liberal cretin to quote and then say we're all a bunch of racists? think about it.

The liberal cretins are going to defame and slander us in any event. Accordingly, I don't care what the silly munts think.

Lewis Carroll:

"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."

"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."

"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master - that's all."

The take I heard was that in Egypt during WWI the commander of British troops was taken aback by the disparaging language used towards the local troops and suggested that they be referred to as "Worthy Oriental Gentlemen". Like all good soldiers the Brits reduced it to the acronym, as brevity is the soul of wit.

Denim covered gelatin.... there's a "Clinton goes into a biker bar..." joke there.
