groyper · noun1

Unclear overall. First attested in c. 2015. A common hypothesis seems to be a combination of goy (“a non-Jewish person; a Gentile”) and griper (“a person who complains naggingly or frequently”). Other conjectures include an alteration of grope (“to touch sexually”), as well as being based on names apparently befitting an amphibian, such as Frogger, the root *groyp- being onomatopoeia for a toad's croak (compare Italian gracidare (“to croak”), Bulgarian кря́кам (krjákam, “croak, etc.”)). Or possibly a nonsense term; multiple elements may be combined here. The first attestations (almost always accompanied with a cartoon frog distinct from Pepe the Frog illustration, on 4chan) predate associations with Nick Fuentes, so it is unclear if the first is a case of folk etymology.
