PRONUNCIATION OF AMOK IN POLISH

amok


WHAT DOES AMOK MEAN IN POLISH?

Amok

Amok - a frenzy, the state of uncontrolled emotions combined with the desire to murder. The term is derived from the Malay / Indonesian / Filipino word amuk, meaning "mad of anger". This word was also used in India during the reign of the British Empire. It was defined as the behavior of an elephant separated from its herd. When he was in a frenzy, he was hurrying blindly destroying everything in his path. This term has gained popularity thanks to Rudyard Kipling's stories about colonial times. Although usually used in less violent and colloquial sense, the word amok is partly related to the sociopathic behavior occurring in Malaysian culture. In the typical case in the amok falls a man who did not show any signs of anger or has no tendency to violence. After getting a gun, he tries to kill or seriously injure anyone he meets. Amok cases usually end when the striker is killed by passers or commit suicide.
