There’s no need to be shy about it, and it doesn’t stand for Willie anyway, it stands for Wogbox. There’s nothing offensive about the word either, just like the Brixton Briefcase. Poorer black men carry one of those, the richer ones drive a BMW.

As for the Rumour, that would depend on which internet sites you have strayed into.

Another classic that I heard recently was 'Oooh dos' (U2, the band).

Men's willies, wogboxes, Lynn refusing to spill the beans, I go to Calahonda and the world goes mad. Someone spell it out in words of one syllable for poor lil'ol'me purleeeze.


ps mention of U2 reminds me UB40 is a quite regularly mentioned band hereabouts because one of the band members has a house on a road nearby & is frequently used as a direction point! So mention uve be cuarenta and everyone knows!! Nowt to do with pronunciation, tho

U2 said many many years ago that one reason for choosing that name was that it could be pronounced easily in any language.

Hmm. Yet Vertigo (I think) starts with the inimitable counting Uno Dos Tres Quatorze...
