"(U.S. military slang) A misunderstood word thought to be derogatory by American troops in the Korean War that was derived from the words “hangook” and “migook”. “Hangook” refers to Korea and “migook” is the common word for America. American troops misinterpreted "migook" (sounds like "me gook") as an assertion of "I am a gook". During the Vietnam War, it was ignorantly labeled to the Vietnamese people who also have a similar word “han quoc” which means country. Popularized to include any Asian after its widespread use during the War." |
gooks, also, consider dinks, slants, slopes, Charlies, VCs Yards for civilians |
also consider: BOAT PEOPLE: refugees fleeing Vietnam by boat after 1975. |
