Dirka dirka (Arabic: دركة دركة ) is a mimicry of Arabic and also can connote things Muslim, Arabic, Middle Eastern, or things relating to terrorism.

[edit] Word Usage

This was first used by a caricature of Osama bin Laden in the animated television show South Park, episode 509, “Osama bin Laden Has Farty Pants,”. The episode originally aired Nov. 7, 2001. It was popularized by the satirical 2004 movie Team America: World Police. Among other uses in the film, foreign terrorists are said to live in “Dirkadirkastan.” Both the movie and television program were created by Matt Stone and Trey Parker.

In a October 14, 2004 interview for NPR Matt Stone talks about the new movie, ‘Team America: World Police’, Matt Stone: "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."[citation needed]
