What is "The Norks"? (apparently it can mean "tits", but I'm pretty sure that's not what it means here)


Colloquial term for North Koreans, similar to Chicoms (Chinese Communists). I'm not what the modern connotation is, in my mind it's a little suspect but not really offensive compared to the typical race based terms used in other conflicts.


Derogatory slang for North Koreans[1]

Though not commonly used; though it does pop-up from time-to-time[2]

It's a reference to the Dear Leader's chest


In the context, almost certainly North Koreans.
