Baka (Japanese word)

Baka (馬鹿, ばか in hiragana, or バカ in katakana) means "fool", or (as an adjectival noun) "foolish" and is the most frequently used pejorative term in the Japanese language.[1] The word baka has a long history, an uncertain etymology (possibly from Sanskrit or Classical Chinese), and sociolinguistic complexities.
