dogger
A derogatory term for Anglo-Saxon Australians, used by those of Italian ethnic background, in Adelaide: Hey Mario, what was the name of that Dogger we went to school with?
Contributor's comments: I believe the word Dogger is also used by people of Greek descent.
Contributor's comments: Growing up in Adelaide, dogger was always someone who had one "wog" parent and one Anglo parent. It was always derogatory though and used by "wogs" and "white trash".
Contributor's comments: I remember hearing this quite a bit in high school in Adelaide in 1980's with the same meaning.
