Who knows what "gook" means - GoFuckYourself.com

Shoehorn! · 04-08-2004, 07:39 PM

I am not calling anyone a gook or anything like that, so before you start flaming this post keep this in mind, I am simply asking who is famailar with the word. Thanks.

Melvin the Dude · 04-08-2004, 07:40 PM

It's racial slur for an asian.

Yeah, I know what it means, I was wondering if it was just a word that Americans were famailar with, or if it was a universally known word. Please answer just yes or no. Thanks.

I'm familiar with it, but am not American, so probably not very useful to you

Phil · 04-08-2004, 07:50 PM

go to club and look for some Vietnamese boys... go over to them and say "hey gook, what's happening".... Once you get out of the hospital (if you're lucky) come back here and tell us what they did to you....

For those that aren't familiar with the term

what does gook mean?

Familiarize yourself with it.

Shok · 04-08-2004, 07:51 PM

gook

n 1: any thick messy substance [syn: sludge, slime, goo, guck, gunk, muck, ooze] 2: a disparaging term for an Asian person (especially for North Vietnamese soldiers in the Vietnam War) [syn: slant-eye]

we call asians 'gooks' because we assume they are not humans due to their robotic structures. they do not have bones and blood but a slimy green substance we refer to as 'gook'. thus, an explanation to your quagmire

Rob · 04-08-2004, 10:01 PM

Being of Asian descent, I know what it means.

The term originated in the Korean War. In Korean dialect, a white person is called a MeeGook and a Korean person refers to himself as a Hangook. If you look on Korean-made cars you'll see that they have Hangook (they spell it Hankook) tires which means "Korean".

During the war, Americans shortened the name to just Gook. It was easier to say than Hangook so it stuck. During the Vietnam War, they adopted the term to mean any Asian person. They called the enemy gooks because of what their fathers had taught them about the Korean War.

I think it became a derogatory comment after Hollywood abused the term in any one of their 1000 Vietnam War movies. Ever since then, the slang term for Asians became gooks.

So now you know, and knowing is half the battle! GOOOO JOE!!!

Either you were being sarcastic in your ignorance or you're a fruit-looped idiot. I think I'll go with the latter but sprinkled generously with the former.

Sometimes it's better to shut up and let the people assume you're an idiot rather than opening it and removing all doubt.

lazzlo · 04-08-2004, 10:09 PM

Slime can be gook too, or sperm can be gooky. My gf calls it gooky.

Once again, you should have just piped down and let us assume you were an idiot.

I think the word you were looking for is: goop. n. Slang - A sticky wet viscous substance. - NOT GOOK.

lazzlo · 04-08-2004, 10:19 PM

When was the other time?

lazzlo · 04-08-2004, 10:22 PM

Do a word search for gooky, it can be slime, I know it.

I heard the same thing, however...

The version I heard from a Korean Linguist was this:

When the US Marines landed in Korea, they were met by the South Koreans, who were chanting what sounded like Me Gook! Our good ole Marines automatically thought, Me Gook = What Koreans call themselves, and the title stuck, to include the whole asian race. Stupidity at it's finest.

Vietnamese are about 5 foot tall. Unless they've got a 10 foot knife on themselves I doubt you have much to worry about it.

Asian racial slurs..

Gook = Korean
Nip = Japanese
Chink = Chinese

I grew up next door to an asian ghetto. http://www.fairfieldcity.nsw.gov.au/...97&iNavCatID=1

Unless they have a knife they are nothing to be worried about. 1 solid punch to the head = one knocked out Viet.

Anthony, that could very much be true. My mother is Korean and my father is German so I got the best of both histories. The explanation I offered is what I heard through my Korean side of the family. Of course, as we all know, stories change when passed through different cultures.

Although I'm half Korean, the word gook doesn't really offend me at all. But if you call me a Kraute or Jerry...I'm going to whoop someone's ass!
