Talk:Berk

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page was deleted a few weeks ago - something I have no particular problem with. Most of what was in the article is also dealt with at Cunt#Rhyming slang so it seems helpful to the reader to redirect this article to there as I have done. The ideal solution would be to redirect to wikt:berk but this isn't possible on a technical level. Hopefully this will be fairly uncontroversial, but I'm explaining it here anyway. --Cherry blossom tree 10:03, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] There do seem to be some kpunctuation-omissions, such as quotations.

[edit] country berk

• Berk - short for "Berkeley Hunt". "Berkshire Hunt".
• The English slang word, "berk", is a contraction of "Berkeley Hunt", which in turn refers to the English vulgarity, "cunt". (The usage is dated to the 1930s)<nowiki><ref>Cassell's Dictionary of Slang. Jonathon Green. Pub. Cassel & Co. ISBN 0-304-35167-9</ref></nowiki> This is an example of Cockney rhyming slang. The "berk" in Berkeley is pronounced to rhyme with "bark", whereas the Cockney pronunciation of the slang term, as with the American English pronunciation, rhymes with "work".

Is there any info. as to why Berkshire & Berkeley,_Gloucestershire, Berkeley would be vaginal, or Cockney??

When I hear stories about Larry Edwin Craig, I often think of I'd a ho, frequently hear of Governor Clement Leroy Otter, nicknamed Butch_Otter.
