English[edit]
Etymology[edit]
In Australia ugg boots and variants like ug, ugh or uggs are used generically. A trademark of UGH-BOOTS was registered in 1971 but was not enforced and generic users of the terms successfully applied for its removal in 2006 (Deckers Outdoor Corporation v B&B McDougal ATMO 5 (16 January 2006)). (This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “But where did the term come from in or before 1971?”)
Pronunciation[edit]

- A boot made of sheepskin with the wool as the lining and the leather as the outside.
