dork

美国20世纪60年代，可能源自dick (“鸡巴”)在学生用语中的委婉形式，特别是在美国中西部。本词从未用于特指鲸鱼的阴茎，而只是指广义的阴茎。
另一词源理论认为其源自方言挪威語 dorg (“一摞；蠢人”)。

狭义指笨拙或者老土的人，广义上指“傻子”。对比doofus、twit。

傻子，呆子 （指愚蠢，不善交际，跟不上时代，或者有小众爱好的人） （自20世纪起）

I entitled the piece "Dorky", dork being slang for a person who does not belong to popular groups, usually an outsider, an odd person, sometimes inept, other times cranky.

1962，Alain Robbe-Grillet，Last year at Marienbad，頁 167:

I didn’t have any clothes and I had short hair and looked like a dork. Girls wouldn’t go out with me.

As a matter of fact, this slob was full of information today. He told me why we Jews have different dorks.

1962，Jerome Weidman，The Sound of Bow Bells，頁 362:

"You’re dead, Trashmouth," Vince “Boogers” Taliendo told him, pulling his jock up over a dork roughly the size and shape of an anemic peanut.

"There's that dork whose wife cut off his dork." And when people ask him for an autograph he writes, "Best of luck to Betsy. Signed, the guy whose wife cut off his penis."

2005，Mike Judge，Reading Sucks: The Collected Works of Beavis and Butthead:


butterface

everything looks good but her face、great body but her face等短语的缩约形式，受到了butter (“黄油”)（可能还暗示了“平平无奇”或者“多油”等意思）和buttface的影响。参见这些词条。对比summerteeth。

I can’t even look at her, she’s such a butterface.

她真是不忍直视，活脱脱一个背影杀手。

Her face wasn't quite as pretty as he had hoped — Earl, the other mechanic back at his father's place called this kind of girl a Butterface...
