Noun (plural). It means the sort of assholes who try to get their advert accepted as an Urban Dictionary definition. The sort of people who try to get a flattering definition accepted, of themselves if they haven't got any friends, or of some female if they think it will help them get into her knickers. These are the same sort of people who will attempt to get an unflattering description of someone accepted as a definition because that person has pissed them off and they are too weak or chicken shit to do anything else about it.

In short they are people who are weak, ineffectual and friendless, a failed evolutionary experiment that should be consigned to Mother Nature's rubbish dump. Incidentally the noun singular (Winky) is also the name given to a minutely small penis - says it all really.

English acronym standing for Waste Of Fucking Space. Can be Waste Of Flipping Space if you want to be a bit more polite but is used to describe people who are just that. The ones that seem to have no useful contribution to make to the human race or anything else and make you wonder just where evolution went wrong.

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;

The word was probably first used in 1942 by J Saunders Redding, but it is possible that it was used before this. When Redding used it, he intended it to mean stay alert for injustices or discrimination. Unfortunately it is now being used as a tool to discriminate against white people, or anything else that the Chattering Classes, Snowflakes or political opportunists find unacceptable.

It’s the place where you work, shop, office, farm, building site. Anywhere work is carried out is a workplace.

Logically enough workplace aggression is specifically aggression that occurs in the workplace. It is commonly found within a toxic workplace and can include a variety of unpleasant behaviours. These can range from verbal, (insulting people, spreading rumours, telling lies or maliciously instituting grievance procedures), to physical attacks (pushing, slapping, punching or attacking with a weapon). It’s the sort of behaviour which, if it was carried out on the street would, in many cases result in arrest by the police or prosecution in the Civil Courts.

Workplace bullying is the persistent mistreatment of an individual or group of individuals by one or more persons in the workplace. This can take the form of either physical or emotional abuse and can cause serious harm to those affected. It can include such tactics as verbal, nonverbal, psychological, physical abuse, workplace cyber-aggression and humiliation. This type of workplace aggression is particularly difficult to deal with as, unlike the typical school bully, workplace bullies often operate within the established rules and policies of their organisation and their society. In the majority of cases, bullying in the workplace is by someone who has authority over their victim and uses their position and power to do this. However, bullies can also be peers, and occasionally subordinates.

Workplace bullying can be covert or overt. It can appear as overbearing supervision, constant criticism, and the blocking promotion chances and may be missed by superiors, or it may be known by many throughout the organisation and ignored. Its negative effects are not limited to the targeted individuals, but can result in an overall decline in employee morale and can even lead to a detrimental change in organisational culture. It is one of the clear signs of a Toxic Workplace so if this happens to you, or you see it happening to others, it might be best to start looking for a new job.
