Contrary to popular belief, this did not start off as a racist pejorative, but was an acronym dating from the British Raj in India used to Identify Indians working for the Government. The acronym stood for Working On Government Service and those who were employed in that role wore an armbands with the acronym WOGS written on it.
Now, however, the original meaning has now largely been forgotten and the four commonest uses of the word "wogs" are as follows:
1. A pejorative noun for people who are non-white or of mixed race;
2. A noun used by certain xenophobic British people to describe anyone who is not British e.g. "Wogs begin at Calais.";
3. A noun used by narrow-minded, londoncemtric fuckwits to describe anyone who does not live in London;
4. A verb meaning to steal, "He wogs sandwiches off his mates." means he steals sandwiches from his friends, and unpleasant racist inference that all non-white people are thieves;

Get the The Long Arm of Coincidencemug. Workplace Democracy is the application of democracy in all its forms to the workplace. This can include voting systems, debates, democratic structuring, due process, adversarial process, systems of appeal. If this sounds a little left wing, it’s because it is and can pose a risk to the organisation as democratic initiatives can be taken over by extremists and twisted so that they no longer conform to their original intent so that the organisation becomes a toxic workplace.
Workplace democracy can be implemented in a variety of ways, which are subject to the size, culture, and other variables of the organisation itself and can vary from a total democratic system to employers asking opinions of employees without taking into consideration their beliefs and opinions.
There is, however, one point to be made, whatever may emerge during the democratic process in a workplace, someone still has to make a decision, otherwise fuck all gets done.

Get the Clinkabellmug. Gronfing is the act of eating greedily, noisily and messily. It is associated with the verb gronf which is to eat greedily, noisily and messily and the noun gronfy a person who gronfs. It is believed that the word originated in Scotland where a colloquial name for a pig is a "grunfy", but is now used south of the border.
"It's drinks and nibbles at Jennie and Phil's tonight; Malcolm hasn't been invited, after all once he gets gronfing no-one else gets a look in."
