Definitions and meaning of dork

dork

Etymology 1

US 1960s, sense of "silly person" presumably from earlier use as bowdlerization of dick (“penis”) in student slang, particularly Midwest. It has never referred specifically to a whale's penis, but penises in general.

Alternative etymology derives from dialectal Norwegian dorg (“a mass; heap; a heavy, dimwitted, slovenly person”).

Noun

dork (plural dorks)

    • 1967, Don Moser and Jerry Cohen, The Pied Piper of Tucson:
      I didn’t have any clothes and I had short hair and looked like a dork. Girls wouldn’t go out with me.
