“”Daesh it is.””

Where did that come from? Only heard it starting yesterday.

I’ve heard it before. Basically the kurd and arab term for is or whatever they want to call themselves this week. Not considered complimentary.

It's Arabic acronym داعش phonetically spelt DAESH in English/Latin alphabet.

Letter by letter in Arabic it can also stand for:

د = Dawlat (Nation or government)

ا = (al-) (of) (Islāmiyya) (Islamic)

ع= (fī’l-) (Aragh) (‘Irāq)

ش = (wa’s-) (and) (Shām) (Greater Syria or the Levant)
