ocke
An ocke is that weird Arabic guy who sells you chips, candy, and sometimes a little bit of hope in the corner store.
"That ocke gave me a lollipop and told me I’d grow up to be a king."
I asked the ocke for a Snickers, and he gave me a Snickers and a warning.
The ocke ran the store like he owned it, even though he probably only worked there part-time.
