"groyper" meaning in English

See groyper in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Forms: groypers [plural]
Etymology: Unclear overall. First attested in c. 2015. A common hypothesis seems to be a blend of goy ("Gentile") + groper ("sexual assaulter"), probably in reference to the illustration's (later) associations with the political group. Other conjectures include an alteration of groper alone, 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 distinct Pepe the Frog illustration, on 4chan) predate associations with Nick Fuentes, so it is unclear if the first is a case of folk etymology.
