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 14, 2014
