is a Turkish slang word used to refer to stereotypical bigoted, lumpen, selfish, greedy, jealous, philistine, and hypocritical working-class Turks perceived as blindly supporting the state.

Background The word was originally used to refer to large sheepdogs in rural Anatolia known for their unquestionable loyalty to their owners. After the Gezi Park protests, Çomar became a term used against Erdoğan supporters. The word is essentially a Turkish version of "redneck". The Turkish Language Association gave another meaning of the word as "an intolerant, rude, aggressive person".
