My quick dictionary check says:

Gook:

noun: a disparaging term for an Asian person (especially for North Vietnamese soldiers in the Vietnam War)

noun: any thick messy substance
As a practical matter, that ain't gonna work. The original meaning was the thick, messy substance, but it got replaced. The danger here is, you open the door to "you fuckin' ( insert choice racial/religious epithet here )! - oh, I mean the OLD definition, which is "a knurled grommet protector"".

Just not workable.
