Drek
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Drek (Yiddish: דרעק) was originally a term used by Yiddish-speaking Jews (mostly from Eastern Europe) meaning "shit" or "crap." Over the years it has entered into more general usage and is often used by non-Jews to describe something which is considered to be of inferior quality. Certain movie critics have used this term in creative and unexpected ways, describing a movie or a performance that is sub-standard. In cities with larger populations of Jewish people of Eastern European descent, it would not be uncommon to hear someone say, "That is just so much drek."
Drek was used as the name of the final boss and supervillain of the video game Ratchet and Clank.
The "DREK Empire" was a hostile organization in the NES video game Golgo 13: Top Secret Episode. The original Japanese release of the game featured the organization as a resurrected Nazi Germany, although most of these references were removed for the USA release.
