dirka-dirka
interj.— «We have in the movie all the terrorists talk basically in this Arabic gibberish which they just go, you know, “Dirka-dirka, Muhammad, Muhammad Ali,” and they talk like—”Muhammad jihad,” and they just kind of talk like this—you know, all we use is “Muhammad, jihad, allah, Dirka-dirka, burka-burka,” and that’s how they talk. And that, to me, is what terrorists sound like when I look at their little tapes that they release. And all it is is us making fun of terrorists.» —“Interview: Matt Stone talks about the new movie, ‘Team America: World Police’” by Terry Gross, Matt Stone NPR: Fresh Air Oct. 14, 2004.
