Clare the Kings Cross Bogan - is a fake

Hard to explain this one. After a shooting in Sydney, a young woman explains what happens through politically-incorrect impressions involving racial stereotypes. They're now calling her 'Clare the Kings Cross Bogan', and she's become a bit of a downunder internet celebrity.

I'm guessing that "wog" is slang for "Arab" based on the fact that the only place I've heard that word used in in the film Lawrence of Arabia.

The common American slang for Arab is considerably worse.

From the Sydney Morning Herald:

But Ms Werbeloff has been forced to admit her "eyewitness" account was bogus.

As she prepared to tell all on Nine's A Current Affair, detectives told The Sun-Herald last night Ms Werbeloff's account of the shooting of Justin Kallu, 27, the so-called "skinny wog", was made up.

"We have interviewed her and she has not witnessed the shooting," said acting Kings Cross Police crime manager, Detective Inspector Matt McQueen. "She has admitted to making it all up and has not witnessed the shooting."
