Morning Tricky, as again it is with what context the word is used, as I say it was a very innocent word until the politically correct got involved and twisted its true meaning-
Extract from Wikipedia and their copyright-
The golliwog, golliwogg or golly is a fictional character created by Florence Kate Upton that appears in children's books in the late 19th century and usually depicted as a type of rag doll. It was reproduced, both by commercial and hobby toy-makers, as a children's toy called the "golliwog", a portmanteau of golly and polliwog,[1][2][3] and had great popularity in the UK and Australia into the 1970s. The doll is characterised by black skin, eyes rimmed in white, red lips and frizzy hair. Though home-made golliwogs were sometimes female, the golliwog was generally male. For this reason, in the period following World War II, the golliwog was seen, along with the teddy bear, as a suitable soft toy for a young boy.
In later years the image of the doll has become the subject of controversy. While some people see the doll as a symbol of childhood and an innocuous toy.
