RESIDENTOFNIBIRU - At what age did you first know the history or origin of the word "Jancok"?
Jancok/Jancuk/Dancuk is a swear word that we often hear in the middle of the Java community in general, and in particular the citizens of Surabaya. But you know what? It turns out that said the Media has its own history and was originally not a swear word as we often hear during this time.
Apparently the origin of the word Jancok've been there since 1945.
The beginning of the word Jancok
According to Wikipedia, the actual Jancok is the name of a painter of Dutch origin named Jan Cox.
Jan Cox was born in the Hague on 27 August 1919.
Jan Cox is a famous painter in the Netherlands and Belgium because his work is phenomenal. But strangely, Jan Cox never set foot in Indonesia. His paintings were not there in Indonesia. Then how his name could be heard all the way to Indonesia precisely in Surabaya, East Java? In fact, let alone the man, his paintings are the people of Indonesia do not know.
As it turns out, while the troops NICA Netherlands addressed the British landed in Surabaya to disarm the Japanese army, in one of their tanks is written the name of Jan Cox.
Write the name of something or someone in the body of a tank, a plane, or a bomb is carried out by the army in World War II.
Most likely the crew of the carrier tanks which originated from the Netherlands was idolized painters of the.
Tank manifold M3A3 Stuart made the United States into the inventory of the Dutch army.
Well, the end of the landing NICA and in the United kingdom. this ended with the outbreak of the battle of 10 November 1945. And while the People's Security Army (TKR/ARMY of that period) then look at the writings of Jan Cox in the body of the tank M3A3 Stuart.
Interestingly, the name of Jan Cox then worn by the soldiers of the TKR to identify if there is a tank belonging to the enemy come.
Perhaps also if the soldiers TKR call Jan Cox their hearts seemed to sour and resentful due to dealing with enemy armored vehicles in battle.
Please be aware if the soldiers of the TKR at the time was not equipped with anti-tank weapons so it will be difficult for them against enemy armored vehicles.
Because of the time of the battle of many tanks Dutch-owned milling about, then the soldiers of the ARMY often said Jan Cox, Jan Cox!, which means to identify if the presence of enemy armored vehicles.
However, over time the use of the word Jan Cox became the language of uptake arek-arek Surabaya until now and to change the vocabulary to be Jancok which is a swear typical of East Java.
Even so, some doubt the opinion is because it is considered less appropriate. Because in 1945, Indonesian people are still using the old spelling, so that the writings of Jan Cox will be read Yan Koks, not Jancuk/Jancok.
Unknown Jan Cox died on October 7, 1980 in Antwerp, Belgium.
