I don’t know which of you needs to hear this but “narc” is not short for “narcissist” when someone calls you a “narc” for snitching they are calling you a “narcotics officer”

technically narc isnt even short for narcotics officer its just cant for Cop, I believe Roma in origin

I read years ago in a book that it was derived from nakk, Romani for nose, as in someone who always has their nose in other people’s business

ITS DERIVED FROM “NARCO” AS IN “NARCOTICS” WHAT FUCKING BOOK

Okay you know what pulling back on my derision because i can see how this mistake would be made but narc and nark are etymologically unrelated

Etymology is always doing some shit like this
