Possible definitions for bazouk

bazooka
Shoulder-type rocket launcher adopted by the U.S. Army in World War II. It consisted of a smoothbore steel tube, originally about 5 ft (1.5 m) long, open at both ends and equipped with a hand grip, shoulder rest, trigger mechanism, and sights. Officially named the M9A1 Rocket Launcher, it was called bazooka after the crude horn of that name used by a popular radio comedian. It was developed chiefly for attacking tanks and fortified positions at short range. The U.S. Army abandoned it during the Vietnam War in favor of lighter-weight antitank weapons.

-->Farouk I

King of Egypt (1936-52). Son of King Fuad I (1868-1936), he was educated in Egypt and England and ascended the throne in 1936. Farouk's administration was hampered by internal rivalries. His alienation of the military, especially after its loss to Israel (1948), led to his own downfall. In 1952 a coup led by G. A. Nasser forced him to abdicate. He was succeeded by his infant son, Fuad II, but in 1953 Egypt became a republic.
