A racial slur referring to people of East Asian descent. Most commonly it is a shortened version of the term zipperhead, but may also have a seperate origin as Vietnam War slang, an acronym for "Zero Intelligence Potential", in reference to enemy combatants/civilians (of Southeast Asian descent) that were unlikely to provide any worthwhile intelligence information, ie: just kill them, no reason to interrogate them.

Vietnamese, a Vietnamese. Perjorative and bigoted term used by American soldiers during the Vietnam war. May have originated as an abbreviation of the expression 'zipper-mouth.'

zip is the sound made by a loner who wants attention. instead of making the zip sound why not zip it, lock it and put it in your pocket!
