Derogatory term of U.S
Army origin during the Gulf War.
Used to denote someone from the Iran/Iraq desert region.
Not often used as it is offensive to both the
People of the
Persian region as well as the African-American soldiers sent there.
'Dunecoon' is a depreciated term.
'
Towel head' and 'Camel Jockey' are perfecly good subsitutes.
