      A term coined by Douglas Rushkoff in an episode of PBSs Frontline entitled The Merchants of Cool. Mooks are archetypal young males(teens-early 20s) who act like moronic boneheads. They are self centered simpletons who live a drunken frat-boy lifestyle(or are frat-boys). Examples can be found anytime someone watches Jackass. Rushkoff claimed that the media glorifies this ideal and stifles natural self expression, however, some people might argue teenage boys have always acted like morons(its actually a long-standing stereotype). Nonetheless, standardized conformist dumbass-culture behind a veneer of exhuberance is a scary notion indeed.
      Opposite of Mooks are [Midriff]s; oxymoronic innocent skanks who are modeled after Britney Spears.

            A generic derogatory term. Many attempts have been made to define it, but its used too widely to pin it down.

                Usually used to refer to generic goons in TV and role-playing games. Mooks are usually faceless henchmen who show up only to be easily dispatched by the main characters.

                    Mook - can be used as a noun or an adjective with the same meaning as jackass and mother fucker but in a more polite sense.
