Talk:Yumpla Tok

Etymology
I'm a bit busy right now, but I noticed this article's creation. I'll help with the definition and so on in a bit, but the first thing that struck me is the etymology. Would 'Yumpla' not be akin to Tok Pisin yumi (us) + pela (adjectival suffix), i.e. 'our talk', 'our language'? --Wytukaze 13:21, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes, it very well could be. I have to do a bit more research on it -- but I'm extremely busy myself, and am focusing on English words rather than names. Please, feel free to fiddle around with this. I have no claim on it; as per the terms of Wikigreement. Bennmorland 13:39, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Indeed, but this would currently count as original research. I'll look into it later. --Wytukaze 13:43, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

Once done, the string can be put back together and the bit lowered to the well once again. This operation, called a round trip, takes most drilling crews 12 hours to complete.
 * 1)  A form of barter that involves the sale of an unused asset and the purchase of the same asset back again, or a similar one, typically used in accounting fraud.

Etymology
From, from.

Noun

 * 2) * 1817, John Elliotson (translator), J. Fred. Blumenenbach (Latin author), The Institutions of Physiology, third Latin edition, second English edition, E. Cox and Son, page 284:
 * The emission of semen is excited by its abundance in the vesicles and by sexual instinct: it is effected by the violent tentigo which prevents the course of the urine, and, as it were, throws the way open for the semen; by a kind of spasmodic contraction of the vesiculæ seminales,
 * 1) * 1833, unnamed translators, James Gregory (Latin author), Conspectus Medicinæ Theoreticæ: Or, A View of the Theory of Medicine, Second Edition, Stirling & Kenneg, page 180:
 * Sometimes an obstinate and painful erection takes place, either without appetite, or with great and insatiable desire. To this rare kind of disorder are given the several names, tentigo, priapism, satyriasis. that slighter tentigo that is often felt on awakening, by persons otherwise in the best health
 * 1) * 1849 March 3, H. J. McDougall, “Researches on Involuntary Seminal Discharges, and the Disorders Attending Them”, in The Medical Times, Volume XIX, William S. Orr and Company, page 379:
 * Moreover, Boerhaave proceeded further than the suspicions of these physicians led him, as he expressly denied that he had ever known true semen to be discharged without a venereal tentigo, either sleeping or waking; so that it must be a very extraordinary disease indeed, wherein this fluid is spontaneously discharged, or without any sensation.
 * 1) * 1912 August, Victor Robinson, translating and quoting Aretaeus, in “Aretaeus, the Forgotten Physician”, in Medical Review of Reviews, Volume 18, Number 8, page 521:

Usage notes
In the UK, the spelling is traditionally adviser, though US spelling advisor  is becoming increasingly common. In the US, Associated Press style is adviser, and most newspapers and some magazines follow that spelling, whereas US federal government style, other government agencies, and many businesses prefer advisor. News organizations around the world may change spelling found in sources, even in quoted material. US book publishers may be less likely to change spelling in quoted material because this practice is contrary to The Chicago Manual of Style.

Talk:adviser

Adviser vs. Advisor
(Moved 2005-05-26 from main adviser page by 66.1.155.117 2005-05-27, 02:27)

(What about advisor ? Is that a mis-spelling ?) Merriam-Webster doesn't think so. DavidCary 2005-04-15, 02:29

 * I have removed the line "In the US, an adviser has a connotation of someone offering unsolicited advice, while an advisor is someone speaking with at least some amount of wisdom or authority." The same line was in the "advisor" page with Os and Es switched, contradicting this one. 66.1.155.117 2005-05-27, 02:27

 * While adviser and advisor are generally interchangeable, they are typically used in different contexts and this has little to do with differences between English as spoken in the UK or the USA or elsewhere in the English speaking world.

 * Typically adviser is used in a general sense to describe the actions of someone giving advice. On the other hand, advisor is normally reserved as the title or role of someone who is providing advice in a professional capacity.  For example, see the following:

 * Definition of role of Legal Advisor BBC UK
 * Cabinet roles at the Whitehouse (USA) note several titles Senior Advisor {name}

 * Recomend an Advisor (Australia) (Australian government website)

 * Enquire 07:34, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

 * I dispute the following statement:
 * In the UK, Ireland and Asia the spelling is traditionally adviser, though US spelling advisor  is becoming increasingly common. In the US, Associated Press style is adviser, and most newspapers and some magazines follow that spelling, while US federal government style, other government agencies, and many businesses prefer advisor. News organizations around the world may change spelling found in sources, even in quoted material. US book publishers may be less likely to change spelling in quoted material because the practice is contrary to The Chicago Manual of Style.
 * It is not true that the spelling is different based on location, but rather based on usage, as described and explained above. However, there is a great deal of confusion over this, but I prefer not to take the liberty to delete or edit that paragraph until others have an opportunity to consider how best to revise the above quoted paragraph.

nose to the grindstone

Etymology
From the literal action of intensely working a grindstone, whether powered by a treadle or waterwheel.

It was later adapted to forcing oneself into similarly intense effort.

Talk:perimeter

This page has issues.

1. The obscene non-standard sub-nested definitions must go. Two meanings in a row can (and should) start with "# (Mathematics): "...

2. The military definition is the obsolete/dated meaning. The more common meaning is the edges (particularly the sides) of an assault team/the assult team's maneuver. This term is reused in American Football and Basketball. But I think this meaning is a back-formation from periphery/peripheral, which in turn, I think are derived terms of perimeter itself. Can such a circular etymology officially exist? How does one represent the time frames of such a progression?

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called JAS. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name JAS~enwiktionary that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:51, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:dork

I'm absolutely positive that this was the result of a Dilbert comic strip from sometime before 2005. Scott Adams has been adamant about scrubbing his ip off the internet however so I can't prove it

Whale penis?
Could someone confirm that "dork" means "whale penis"? I'm told that, historically, it means "penis" more generally. --LostLeviathan 13:55, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

 * I've never heard of the "whale" meaning either, only the general sense. --Connel MacKenzie 05:23, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Actually, I believe the "whale" definition is simply a common, incorrect definition. About a year ago I had a bet with a friend regarding the "whale" definition. After, believe it or not, a conversation with a marine biologist at Scripps, we determined that "dork" never referred to any scientific description of a whale member. It does refer to penis generally though. How it got mis-applied to whales specifically is an oddity.

 * A muleskinner told me that dork referred to the penis of a mule, which, while being functional, is useless, as mules cannot breed.

 * I was told the whale definition and a corresponding elephant definition in elementary school, and also have heard both applied to the word "dude". Maybe there is some truth to these rumors?  Maybe not.  I wonder what the actual words are for these parts.  (In whaler slang?) - Omegatron 20:04, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * OED gives the earliest recorded usage in a poem, as a synonym for 'penis', deriving from 'dirk'. Can someone provide a citation for dirk?

 * From Wikipedia - "One of the earliest documented uses of the word "dork" is a 1961 publication (referencing 1953), in which the meaning is clearly penis, but with no particular reference to whales." Ric | opiaterein 23:09, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

After all of this discussion, I think it's well established that "dork" means "penis." So, why is it that the penis definition is labelled as vulgar slang? I have never heard it used as such slang in America, so if we are to keep it labelled as slang, could someone figure out which english speaking country(ies) use it as such? --72.48.100.121 20:24, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

 * I half suspect my family started the false definition of dork years ago the nerds in our family got so sick and tired of hearing that idiotic word, so we demonstrated our capacity to do what language corruptors throughout history routinely do - change it to our own purposes. Also, when I feel like, I construct new logical words which are plainly understood, as with the word corruptor I just constructed from previously known words and roots. Jakewayd (talk) 02:07, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

No source for whale penis
I can't edit it, but can someone mark the whale penis thing as unsourced? Nhinchey 00:53, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

A dork is actually the penis, usually used in reference to whales. (i.e. The dork of the blue whale is the largest of all mammals'.) True fact. Barbarucita (talk) 20:31, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Not a true fact, unless you can provide some evidence that it is used in reference to whale penises. I'm unaware of any reference of dork to whale penis in any use in literature at any time. If you know of a legitimate reference, then I'm sure we'd all be happy to know about it. JohnBoyTheGreat (talk) 22:59, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

Dorcas given name
A common 19th-century given name for females in rural areas was "Dorcas" which has a biblical origin. In pioneer times in the United States it was a common practice to pick given names almost at random from the bible or according to what sounded good or the name from an interesting story in the bible. This resulted in large numbers of young women being named "Dorcas". Apparently this name became synonymous with "hick" (q.v.).John Chamberlain 18:57, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Always a pejorative?
I'm hearing the word "dork" a lot as meaning something along the lines of, "a lovable person who's into intellectual or non-mainstream things instead of 'trendy' things." For example, a guy who's into chess who you really want to date would be a "dork." Here, the difference between "dork" and "nerd" is that the dork is more interesting and likable than the nerd. Any comments?

 * Pejoratives are frequently used affectionately among intimate friends and family, not just in English but in most (all?) languages that have pejorative forms. It’s part of the nature of a pejorative. —Stephen 16:19, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Stephen, thanks for explaining!

Sexual intercourse?
I have heard the use of "dork" in US slang as a verb meaning sexual intercourse, particularly in the form "dorking". Can anyone confirm? 🚫🚫^^^🚫🚫 Dork: noun: informal Synonyms bookworm, dink [slang], geek, grind, nerd, swot [British], weenie, wonk I mean, there's docking. Which describes a very specific sexual act. (would not suggest looking it up if you're squeamish or a minor)
 * this above assumption of American slang is incorrect.

Dork surname
Records of Dork as a surname in the US predate 1907- authou Frank R. Stockton's 1885 novel Rudder Grange has a comic character named Pomona Dork.
 * Also records on Ellis Island of these surnames in a span of 13 years.

 * There's some evidence (not a lot) that this is a back formation from door-key to dorky, hence a dorky kid becoming synonymous with a latchkey kid. Needs further investigation before eliminating. -- A LGRIF  talk 14:32, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

 * clocked out DCDuring TALK 09:25, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Lousy translations
I can't speak for most of these (in fact, I'll restore the obvious loanwords in Finnish and Danish and the Norwegian that I know is similar), but "dork" is not synonymous with dummy or fool. There is a social component to it that makes Japanese otaku close enough, but Chinese 笨蛋 and German Dummkopf are entirely inappropriate. Removing such, we need someone to actually review these as appropriate translations of "dork" before reinsertion into the article:

 * Dutch: seut,
 * Esperanto: senĉarmulo, malgraciulo
 * Finnish:
 * French:
 * Georgian:
 * German:, , , Deppin
 * Indonesian:
 * Russian:, ,
 * Serbo-Croatian: kreten

Related question: shouldn't "slang word for penis" just link to a list at cock or dick? There's no real difference in offense or meaning that merits keeping three or more identical lists, I'd say. — LlywelynII  01:58, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

Word of Irish origin
It may be that it is a word of Irish origin. The Irish language has a very similar word, dorc, meaning foolish lumpish person and/or buttocks http://www.teanglann.ie/en/fgb/dorc

With the large amount of Irish immigration to the English speaking country's it would be more likely to be a slang word of Irish origin rather from a much smaller immigrant population like Norwegian etc. Daithicarr (talk) 11:52, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Interesting possibility. However, the dictionary you referenced was published in 1977, and the two other dictionaries at that link do not include the word "dorc". I feel that we'd need more evidence before considering a possible Irish origin. JohnBoyTheGreat (talk) 23:02, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

BTTF use in 1955
Back To The Future Parts 1 and 2 used the term in a 1955 context, and they seemed to do their homework on other 1955 slang. Could it be that old? 207.47.199.32 17:25, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

RFC discussion: June 2007–April 2009
The etymology is spread all over the article, should be brought together. H. (talk) 11:58, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Um, we had quite a run with the "whale penis" vandalism. I think it was Paul that verified it as completely untrue (just a 4chan vandalism effort or something.)  --Connel MacKenzie 21:43, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Actually, I mean the ‘door key child’ thing, which should be split in its own etymology. H. (talk) 08:52, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
