    Since when does anyone refer to North Koreans as Norks 🥴

      I’ve been calling them that for at least a decade now.

      It’s Nor(th) K(orean)s, not orcs like the green guys.

      Around 1950 or so. It’s probably considered a slur, though, only slightly better than “gooks”.

        It’s not a slur, but it is also slang for breasts.

          Oh wow, that’s an amazing term for breasts. Probably in my top 5, right behind “baps”

      It’s actually been an increasingly common slang over the last year or so. Think the popularity of it picked up after they started sending troops to Ukraine.
