The Inuit slang for white man is the same as the official word for white man in Inuktitut or ᐃᓄᒃᑎᑐᑦ, which is Kabluunak(there actually is no B in Inuktitut which indicates the word likely came from a different dialect of Inuktitut, likely from Inuvik) The roots of the word are Kabluu and Nak. Kabluu meaning eyebrows and Nak(ᓇᒃ) meaning stomach. Since early European travellers had large eyebrows and fat stomachs the name fit and stuck.
