We've all heard, as children, that dork means "whale penis." That's a lie. It just means "penis" -- there's nothing in there about whales.

And for once in this blog I'll expose my source. I looked up dork in The Oxford English Dictionary -- which traces words back to their earliest roots, going as far back as 1000 AD or even earlier if necessary, and cataloguing every meaning the word has had along the way -- so I'm pretty sure I'm right on this one.
