The word ‘gook’ does not come from the word ‘hanguk’ because I have not heard of such a word to referring to Koreans. I think she may have ment ‘hangul’ which terms the unique Korean language. Anyways, ‘gook’ is a phrase used by Koreans to welcome other people into their country. ‘Mi guk’ was the common phrase which means ‘welcome to our country.’ Unfortunately, the ‘tourists’ took it to mean ‘I’m a gook!’ hence the racial slur. I have no idea where ‘zipperhead’ came from. never heard it before.
