Of his forty-seven books, this was Berton's personal favourite, partly because the characters were inspired by his own children. The Secret World of Og brought the author more fan mail than anything else he wrote – at least a dozen letters a week from children across Canada.

The clipping to wog happens a few years later. The earliest recorded uses are in World War I soldier slang published shortly after the war. There is this from Lionel James’s 1921 The History of King Edward’s Horse in a reference to events of 1917: script is here for all you quotes spouting fans of the Mara Wilson movie. This script is a transcript that was painstakingly You sit glaring at me for ten minutes like—like that brute of a Golliwog I keep upstairs, and then you begin dozing over the fire for all the world like you’d just had a couple of ounces of food. And you expect me to say nothing. The disappearance of the Uptons’ character from popular memory made room for speculation as to the origin of wog, and several false acronymic explanations developed to justify the term. The most common are westernized / worthy / wily / wonderful oriental gentleman or working on government service, this last supposedly stenciled on the shirts of Egyptian workers on the Suez Canal. Of course, these explanations are all false, with no evidentiary support. At the campfire, the Ghostbusters sing "Row, Row, Row Your Boat," "Home on the Range," and barbershop quartet version of "The Fountain in the Park." [18] [19] [20]A pollywog (also spelled polliwog) is the same thing as a tadpole. It’s the larval stage of toads and frogs, the wiggly heads with tails seen abundantly in freshwater streams and ponds. “Pollywog” sounds like a made-up Dr. Seuss name, but it shares the same Middle English root as the more scientific sounding “tadpole.” Pol is the word for head, evident in both tadpole and pollywog. The “tad” part in tadpole is from a Middle English word for toad and the “wog” in pollywog is from the Middle English “wiglen,” to wiggle. Both are interchangeably descriptive terms for the wriggly aquatic youngsters. The King Edward’s Horse called the Indian Cavalry “The Wogs”—which is the diminutive of “Golliwogs,”—a description that was very apt of these dark apparitions in khaki and tin-hats.

The use of golliwog is in the sense of the doll, but the descriptor brute indicates how people viewed the character. The story is about a talking baby, who at one point says:Winston Zeddemore (2009).

Kishar and Anshar are both part of actual mythology. Kishar is in Babylonian mythology while Anshar is from both Babylonian and Sumerian. Both are associated with the same elements in the episode. Whether those are simply the actions of an animal recalling a human that was kind to it, or something more -- higher intelligence? a mental link? -- isn't clear, as the finale doesn't slow to ponder those questions; Dustin pauses to say his goodbyes, and the kids make their escape. We're also left to wonder where all the pollywogs-turned-Demodogs came from, y'know, beside the obvious answer: the Upside Down.

Peter: I’m still suspicious of Bob the Brain, but his little bonding moment with Will in the car was really endearing. Sean Astin is perfectly cast as the small town nerd all grown up and living vicariously through his girlfriend’s kids. I loved the advice he gave Will – to confront his own personal Mr. Baldo – because it was so abstract but appropriate (if eventually ineffectual). The TV series extends the storyline of the original book, following the five Berton siblings as they descend through a hole in the floor of their playhouse to explore the underground world of Og. There, amid subterranean rivers, caverns and elaborate villages built of mushrooms, they interact with little green creatures called Ogs, and their myriad neighbours - trolls, ogres and fairies, and a mysterious sea monster named Nessie.The clipped form wog never caught on in American speech, and golliwog dropped out of American speech as memories of the books and dolls faded. But both continue as racist slurs to this day in British speech to this day. It’s odd Jonathan would lie to Nancy that Steve asked him to drive Nancy home. He should’ve told her how Steve stormed out and left her there in a vulnerable situation. I just don’t get why he would cover for Steve, it’s not like he overheard the conversation…gah… MEN.
