Ock
의미: A friendly term of address, especially used with or by bodega workers and Middle Eastern or South Asian shop owners in NYC.
Ock (from the Arabic 'akhi' meaning 'my brother') is used in NYC to address bodega and deli workers, particularly those of Middle Eastern or South Asian descent, and increasingly as a general friendly greeting. 'Yo ock, let me get a bacon egg and cheese.' It reflects the multicultural fabric of NYC street life.
