Boong is a racist and derogatory word used to describe Aboriginal Australian people.
Contrary to what is already written, 'Boong' is derived from the word 'Boonga-boonga' which is actually an Eastern Australian Aboriginal word (Eora and Cadigal People for example) that means arse or bum and was originally used by the Aboriginal people as an insult to the colonisers.
Many Aborignal languages do not have swear words and, in Aboriginal Culture, the arse is the most disgusting part of the body. The Aborignal People would taunt the europeans and call them Boonga's (whilst flashing their black arses at them 'Braveheart ' movie style). Once the europeans realised what they were being called they turned it around and began using the word to describe Aboriginal People.
This is accurate information which was sourced from my personal lecture notes as well as papers studied at the Bankstown campus of the University of Western Sydney. Diploma in Indigenous Community Studies, Issues in Aboirignal Education, Native Title in Australia.

"Hahaha look at these silly white boys, their muskets can't shoot as far as we can throw our spears, they can't get us!" (Then while baring their arses) "Boonga boonga boonga hahaha!"
"These Gubba's are spreading disease all over the country, nothing but boonga-boonga's!"

A racial slur referring to Australian aboriginals. It is related to the Australian English slang word bung, meaning "dead, infected, dysfunctional". It is highly offensive.
In New Zealand, the term (commonly, boonga) is used to refer to a Pacific Islander.

An absolutely disgusting way to describe an Australian Aboriginal person. It is derived from the horrifying practice of running Aboriginal people over, presumably to their death.
Not a socially acceptable word, used by very ignorant people who are not very intelligent.

A word commonly used by under-educated, white Australian racists to belittle and degrade Aboriginal Australians. Used on a casual basis, the word "Boong" originated in the famed bigot state of Queensland and has spread throughout the continent via the Australian construction industry, truckie culture and inter-generational racism.
1. "I f*cking hate these boongs, wish we could bring back the White Australia Policy, or poison thier water and kick the heads off thier babies..." - Casual Australian Racist.
2. "Back in my day, we'd all get together and go boong bashin, ah yep those were the days" - Elderly Australian Racist.
3. "Why the f*ck should I say 'sorry' for happened 200 years ago, those smelly boongs are all lazy alcoholics anyway". - Under-educated Australian racist.
