Okay, 'herk' is right out!
I've been trying to get "Wregime" to catch on for like two years, and it hasn't.

If I can't get mine goin', ZombieNixon ain't gettin' his.

2. I like "herk"!
It can be used in any situation. It's a very flexible word! :D

It ends with a "k"
Makes it easy to use in place of other words...and saves relationships when used in that sense...

"You are such a Herk!"

"Herk You!"

"What the Herk are you lookin' at???"

"You stupid lying Herk!"


See?
Used judiciously, Herk stops feelings from being hurt, defuses situations, and keeps relationships from falling apart due to "other" words that may be used in the heat of the moment.

17. "You are such a Herk" and "You lying stupid Herk" show herk's origin.
About five days ago, my friend/SO told me "YOU'RE JUST A BIG HERK!!" on AIM, meaning to call me a "jerk." I took it and ran.

I hope it won't hurt my chances of getting herked again. :hide:

5. shoulda gone for Waregime
it has greater pronouncability.
I have tried to get folice (meaning fascist police) to catch on too
and "fut the shuck up" which I think is a great phrase.
I guess I could have made a banner and put it in my sig line.

7. I'm starting my own neologism:
Rfitqc instead of 'God'. (It stands for Random Fluctuations In The Quantum Continuum... I'm an Atheist, so sue me!)
