Definitions

  1. (offensive British slang) term used by the British to refer to people of color from Africa or Asia

Word origin

The Scientologist sense is from the usage of L. Ron Hubbard, who apparently accepted the folk etymology from “worthy Oriental gentleman” but employed the term to mean “common ordinary run-of-the-mill garden-variety humanoid”.

Used in a sentence
