U.S. Marines destined for the Philippines (1898). The word "gook" may have been coined by U.S. Marines in the early twentieth century.

Look up gook in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.

Gook /ˈɡʊk/ is a term for East Asians which came to prominence in reference to enemy soldiers.^[1] U.S. Marines serving in the Philippines in the early 20th century used the word to refer to Filipinos.^[1] The term continued to be used by American soldiers stationed around the world to refer to Asians in general.^[2]^[3]

Origin and development

A slang dictionary published in 1893 defined "gook" as "a low prostitute".^[4] By using the word to refer to Filipinos,^[5] the Marines may have been expressing contempt for native women and accusing them of promiscuity.^[6] Early usage may have been influenced by the word "mak mak" or "gugu", also applied to Filipinos by the Marines. "Gugu" originated as a mocking imitation of Filipino speech^[6] (cf. barbarian). "The Marines who occupied Nicaragua in 1912 took to calling the natives gooks, one of their names for Filipinos", according to H. L. Mencken.^[7] Marines serving in Haiti in 1915 to 1920 used the term to refer to Haitians.

In Frank Capra's Flight (1929), the word was used by a U.S. Marine stationed in Nicaragua. It was later used in the Korean War movie The Steel Helmet (1951)^[8]^{[nb 1]} as well as in numerous movies and books depicting the Vietnam War.^{[nb 2]}

A folk etymology suggests that "gook" refers to the Korean word "국" (國) meaning "country."^[9] According to one explanation, American soldiers during the Korean War were often confronted by Korean soldiers and civilians and would hear them say, "미국" [miɡuk] meaning "America." (For a derivation, see 美國.) The American soldiers supposedly interpreted this expression as "Me gook?", meaning "I am a gook?" in broken English.^[5]

In the U.S., "gook" refers most particularly to Communist soldiers in the context of the Vietnam War. It is generally considered highly offensive. In a highly publicized incident, Senator John McCain used the word to refer to his former captors, then apologized to the Vietnamese community at large.^[10] "I hate the gooks. I will hate them as long as I live… I was referring to my prison guards and I will continue to refer to them in language that might offend."^[10]
