and by the way, I don't wanna hear no whining about me using the word "gook". Especially not from some of you assholes who keep defending the vietnam war. Those fighting U.S servicemen called them "gooks" so you wingnuts go preach to them too.

Dink Vietnamese Used in the movies Apocalypse Now and Platoon to refer to the North Vietnamese. Comes from French Vietnamese "beaucoup dinky dau". Beaucoup means "very" in French, Dinky Dau is Vietnamese for crazy. Shortened, dink just means "crazy"k Vietnamese

Gook.... Term most likely dates back to the Philippine-American War (~1900) and has been used against a wide range of peoples, usually Asians but occasionally Europeans and even the English. Unknown origins, possibly "goo-goo," from the Tagalog language (a major language spoken in the Philippines). Although many have it originating in Korea either by referring Korea's original name, "Hanguk", or during the Korean War when Koreans would ask American GI's "Mi Guk?" ("American?" in Korean) which sounded like they were saying "Me gook." Was soon adopted for use in the Vietnam War. Technically this should only apply to Koreans, but the Vietnam War made it most popular when applied towards the Vietnamese.

Gookaniese Vietnamese Their language is Gookaniese.

Gookie Monster Vietnamese Sounding like "Cookie Moster" from Sesame Street.

Gulper Vietnamese Sounds like their gulping when the speak English

Ho-chi Vietnamese North Vietnamese leader in the 40's

McGook Vietnamese Soldier in name called them that, referring to McDonalds (slaughtered meat)

Mister Charles Vietnamese Used during the vietnam war referring to VC or Victor Charlie.

Mung.... Vietnamese Vietnamese people that were relocated to America by the US government during and after the Vietnam War. It's actually the correct pronunciation of the word "Hmong", mountain-dwelling people inhabiting southeastern China and the northern parts of Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand. Also used derisively to apply to all Asian persons. Also a type of bean/bean sprout used in oriental cuisine.


Nammer Vietnamese Derived from Vietnam being called "Nam".

I really like that reply, CG. You did that to have exactly the same effect I try to have when I write a post with this in it. lol

But you just did. And you used them for effect. Same reason I use them. lol

If you order generic "fried fish," you likely are getting Vietnamese catfish. It is that way at the Shrimp Basket and also at one of Joe Patti's restaurants (the one on Nine Mile Rd.).

I am not eating Vietnamese Basa and I am not eating any Norwegian salmon, either. I won't eat any fish that is frozen after caught and then shipped to China for cleaning and processing. A lot of that stuff is.

What about the stuff that was in the link I provided? Do you discount all of that? If so, why?

Just in a reply to your use of the word. My way of defending my friends,

Mr Ichi wrote:Just in a reply to your use of the word.  My way of defending my friends,  

You don't really believe I'm speaking against them do you? Because if you believe that, then you believe I'm speaking against the people I call queers.

When I use the word "gook" or the word "queer", it's not so much that I'm mocking the people who use them who have hate (which is part of it).
But it's mainly so those people with the hate don't own the words.
When the words are used like I use them, and like you used them when you replied to me, then you and I both are taking some ownership of those words and when we do we dilute the power they possess.

But of course that only applies to those words.
I can't make the same excuse for all the fucks and shits and the rest.
I suppose that's just being potty mouth. lol

Bob, you had a thread going with this same topic yesterday that I replied too regarding my first hand experience with Basa while in Vietnam.

Did you delete it? If so why?

ghost,

I have never and will never be involved in any kind of deleting or censorship.
I'm sorry but I'm not aware of what you're referring to. If it got deleted for any reason then it pisses me off as much as it does you.

My apologies sir. The thread that was on here yesterday was about both the Basa and the Swai, both a type of Vietnamese catfish. I wrong a response to it and today it had disappeared.
