'Wog' is sometimes explained as being the pronunciation of the acronym for Western Oriental Gentleman. (W.O.G.) but its direct origins are uncertain. It is an offensive term in British slang, the definition being: 'a foreigner, especially a non-white one.'
The word was coined in the 1900s. There is a similar word, 'golliwog', which is black-faced soft children's doll with fuzzy hair. A golliwog symbol has been used on certain brand-name marmalades. The word 'golliwog' is from the name 'Golliwogg', which one source says was the name given to a doll character in the books by US writer B. Upton, who died in 1912.
