It's your ace of spades if you're trying to pick up chicks.
But I'm assuming it's already too late for that.

Gordon Brown's government has suffered a surprise defeat in the Commons on its policy of restricting the right of former Gurkhas to settle in the UK. MPs voted by 267 to 246 in favour of a Lib Dem motion that all Gurkhas be offered an equal right of residence.
Tory leader David Cameron backed the Lib Dem motion to scrap rules which leader Nick Clegg called "shameful".
Mr Brown's first significant defeat as PM came despite last minute concessions being offered to rebel Labour MPs.
Home Secretary Jacqui Smith had promised to start a review of the new criteria - which was only announced last week - by the summer and gave an assurance veterans would not be deported.
'Immense victory'
The vote is not binding, but it represents an embarrassing Commons defeat for Gordon Brown at a time when he has faced criticism over a number of other issues.
I may not have this entirely correct but I believe the slang term gook came from the Korean War era when Korean kids first saw Americans they said Miguk (English sound of actual Korean language word meaning American). The American soldiers not knowing anything about Korean language, thought the kids were saying "me gook" or in the correct English "I am a gook." In fact the gook or guk sound is in almost all Korean words for nationalities; for example Chinguk for Chinese, Hanguk for Korean, etc. The term gook eventually took on a much nastier connotation as the Korean War progressed and in later years was applied derogatively to any Asian.
My two cents.
It's all over now.... :-D
