What the fuck is a Chicom?

[thewiseguy]

I came across that word when browsing some RW sites reporting on GM's sale of Hummer to a Chinese manufacturer. That douchebag Rush Limbaugh has been using this particular terminology.

I googled the word and had no luck really. :shrug:

13. Yeah, it's a real oldie ........

I never expected to hear that one again.

I mean, why is it always called "Communist China"? We never said "Oligarchy America" these past eight years, did we?

Chicom

Short for Chinese Communist and sometimes Chinese Communications (military intel, not normal language), and also widely used in military terms to describe something Chinese such as a Type-56 assault rifle or a Chicom Bag and sometimes in general to things which pertain to asian communism. Chicom originated out of the Vietnam War and was first used as slang for tiny burlap bags or packets which usually contained Chinese, NVA, or Vietcong made communist propaganda as well as intel, ammo, food, medical supplies, etc.
Private Steve:"These chicom rations taste like rat shit..." Sargeant Wilko: "That chicom ration IS rat shit... your eating a can filled with it you moron!"

OR

chinese communists
look at those chicoms trying to become more capitalistic

OR

A brainwashed or stupid person who actually believes that Maoism, red fascism, and socialism with "Chinese" characteristics have something to do with communism. These people tend to be mindless conservative or China apologists.
Bill Clinton is a fucking chicom.

11. Given how much red-baiting we are seeing around here lately,

I expect ChiCom to make a comeback right here at DU!

It does have a certain retro charm, you know, like Chryslers with gargantuan fins and that wonderful Franciscan china with the nuclear starbursts on it.
