gook - U.S. military slang since the Korean War, applied initially to
Koreans and later to Vietnamese during the Vietnam War. It derives from
Hanguk, the Korean name for Korea.
Hanguk=Korean
Yonguk=Non Korean

gwailo - also spelled "gweilo"; a Cantonese term for Caucasians. Similar
to the entry above for ghost.
Translated to me as "round eyed devil"
And (for the sake of more completeness)
Septic==Septic Tank==Yank= derogatory term used for US engineers by British
Engineers.
