    I used to go to school with a D Burke. Her parents originally wanted to call her Alison...
    Delta Burke the actress (IIRC, she was on Designing Women)? I can't see what would have gone wrong with the name "Alison Burke" - what's the problem?

      http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=berk I think this explains it all right there.

        Brit here, I have no idea who you're talking about. As KuariKaydrith's link states, it is yet another slang term calling someone a c@$t.

          I went to high school with a girl whose last name was Dick.

            Could be worse -- our UK members will appreciate this one -- The biggest home mortgage lender in the US has one of those interesting names: "Fannie Mae" ...

            The word (normally spelled "fanny") doesn't have the nicest connotation over here in the States, either -- it just means "butt". Still nicer than the UK definition of the term

              Is it just me, or do a lot of our derogative descriptive slang words relate to the genitals of either gender?

                  When I worked at Mart of Wal, I'd seen descriptions on receipts of items that made no sense.. unless your mind was in the gutter.

                  Oscar Mayer hot dogs would be shortened down to "odogs" for some idiot reason. Worse, the bun length version was shortened to "bunlegodogs." This was not set by the store, this was set by corporate. Yeah, that went over well with the customers. Frankly, I needed the chuckle.
                  If I make no sense, I apologize. I'm constantly interrupted by an actual toddler.

                    When I worked as a cashier at Christmas, I rang up a doll, the description came up as "Caucasian". I thought it was rather funny.

                      I still treasure my shopping receipt from my first ever trip to Gibraltar (the cashier's name was something like Paquita or Pakita which she had shortened down) so it tells me

                      Your cashier today was:Paki
