English?

Am I the only one who thinks this word doesn't exist in English in this meaning? - https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=mook&geo=US a few hundreds of request in a year, most of them not connected to this definition - appears in "French" - vast majority of usage is in "French" - only source saying it's used in English claims it's from Japan Cr0vax (talk) 19:40, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There are four reliable sources, as well as the Random House Unabridged Dictionary. If you're referring to the Garland Cannon essay, it says "English took mook as a Japanized English item in about 1988." Its origin does not make it any less of an English word.
