/koːkuri/ → /kokuri/
Alteration from Kōkuri.[1][2] This usage developed after the two failed attempts in 1274 and 1281 to invade Japan by the combined forces of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty and the Goryeo kingdom.[1] Goryeo was a successor kingdom to Goguryeo, but in the popular Japanese language of the time, Goryeo was still referred to as 高句麗 (Kōkuri or Kokuri, i.e. “Goguryeo”) instead of 高麗 (Kōrai, the Japanese reading of “Goryeo”).
The adverb こくり (kokuri, “startedly, startlingly, (jumping up) suddenly”) likely derives from this usage.
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
- something very unfortunate and scary
- これは中々天人の子ではないぞ。むくりこくりが卵よ。[3]
- Kore wa nakanaka tenjin no ko de wa nai zo. Mukuri kokuri ga tamago yo.
- I tell you, this really isn't the child of any heavenly being. This is the spawn of great googly moogly.
- これは中々天人の子ではないぞ。むくりこくりが卵よ。[3]
Usage notes[edit]
Generally always seen in combination with むくり (mukuri) or もくり (mokuri), terms of similar meaning that derive from the word 蒙古 (Mōko, “Mongolia”).[1][2] Compare the English slang phrase googly moogly, possibly derived from this Japanese phrase.
Derived terms[edit]
