Dear Steve,
        "Weg" is actually a term used in England from the 15th
through 17th centuries. While technically, it was dandruff
produced when wearing a wig (common in those times among
men from the upper classes) it was most often used as a
derogatory name applied to people thought to be idiots.
        Hope this helps, Michael
