a pejorative for members of what is variously called "the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria" (ISIS), "the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant" (ISIL), or "the Islamic State" (IS). It is based on "Daesh" or D-A-ʿI-SH, its acronym in Arabic (for
al-dawla
al-islamiya fi
al-ʿIraq wa-al-Sham) + "
bag", playing on the similar sounds of "daesh" and "douche".
They cant hide. Last week a daeshbag tried to check into a hotel in Istanbul. He was accompanied by a
sheep he introduced as
wife. by Capulcu TurkKick (@TurkKick) on Twitter, October
