Australian English
As with other slang and prima facie profanity used in contemporary Australian English, the ethnic term "wog" may be employed either aggressively or affectionately within differing contexts.
In Australia, the term 'WOG' is used towards people of Mediterranean ethnicity who reside in the main cities of Australia. It is used particularly towards the Greek, Spanish, Serbian, Italian, Bosnian, Croatian, Macedonian and Lebanese communities in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth and Canberra
