This is driving me nuts now, you know how when GOLF was invented it was a male only sport and its name came from Gentlemen only ladies forbidden, and POSH for rich people was port out starboard home, well the words I am looking for is WOG and WOP, I know that now they are used as very unfriendly and racist terms, I mean no offence. But my husbands greatgrandfather who died in 2002 aged 103 told me this story, he was in India as a very young man I am guessing in the last days of the British Empire, when the first plane landed, he said , I quote "the wogs fell to their knees and buried their faces in the dirt" when i expressed my displeasure at such a word he told me what it meant, and I think he said it was Western oriental gentleman or western oriental person for wop, but i can't see how that is right as india is neither western or oriental, so my memory must be faulty, does anyone know.

Currently, I am looking for a family to provide love and support to. I have been responsible for caring for newborns, and helping preschoolers become independent as well as teaching letters, numbers, colors and shapes. As a mother of two children myself, I have always been happy to help little ones grow, learn and explore. I continue to find this kind of work to be very fulfilling. I would love to work for a family that is loving, and respectful. Communication and consideration are also very important to me.
We will enjoy walks to the park for a little fun in the sun as well as other outings such as trips to the local library for some fun stories, or trips to the Zoo or Museums for a great day of learning. Other than that we can have a great time enjoying each others company just hanging out at home.
I would like to work between the hours of 8am- 6pm Monday through Friday.I am a U.S. Citizen so providing a social security number and background check would not be a problem.If you decide that I am a sitter that you would be interested in please feel free to contact me for further details.

Before this event happened, upset only meant things like an upset stomach or you upset me and I'm mad. This sporting event(and it can be any) changed the whole structure of the word. It's a good trivia question.
