nork

A contraction of the phrase, "North Korean." Using it is similar in effect to that other derogatory term used against North Koreans, "gook." That term was coined during the Korean War of the 1950s, and later applied to the Vietnamese, has since come to be mean nearly any person or group of Asian descent. Original usage of "nork" unknown, surge in usage noted in mid-2000's, during North Korea's ICBM tests and nuclear plant operation.

"Ace found an article that says flight data shows the Nork ICBM was aimed at Hawaii."
