It's also- perhaps- a generational thing. The word has different associations for different age groups.
I have to admit to being the owner of a very fine black doll- not really a golliwog because he's all lanky and floppy- who used to be my mother's and may well have been handed down to her from the previous generation. He must be at least 80 and could well be over 100.
