After a bit of a grumpy start to the week, I am glad that it is now Wednesday and I can cheer myself up by dusting off a word that I haven’t heard for ages, but it just makes me laugh when I do. I tried it out on Mr Grump a couple of times as well, by calling him it (not that he was impressed; still, I enjoyed it). This teeny little word says it all……
Berk. This is such a silly word, looking a right Charlie if you ask me. A foolish fathead who is a bit of a wally; a nincompoop, numpty or even a knob.
This clueless clot is a dunderhead to say the least. they blunder around blithering and blathering and generally acting the buffoon. It is normally harmless and inoffensive just blissfully ignorant. Acting like a prat and being a bit of a plank is par for the course!
I seem to have quite a lot in common with this word! 🙂
Great work… It’s satisfying to say, too, isn’t it?!

Judy E Martin
Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
