Dork is in fact an acceptable word in every day discussion

Yesterday night I was at Lucinda's (the women's gap house) and a fellow gapper named Ranjit came over. Ranjit, who is from Bahrain says that 'dork' is something along the lines of large mammal testicles, such as those of a whale or elephant.

The inhabitants of the women's gap house and I disagreed with him so I set out to set thing right; I consulted the Oxford English Dictionary in Central Michigan Univerities Charles V. Park Library. Before I get into what it actually said let me say that the OED is known for being the best dictionary of the english language with the most complete etymologies and all occurences of each word, what the word was in its origonal language if it is one other than english and it also will give you the original meaning in the original language.

The following is what was said in the OED about DORK:

Dork:(Etymology, etc.) Slang (chiefly U.S) origin uncertain, a variation of DIRK; influenced by DICK.

Def: 1. The penis.

Explaination: 1964 from American Speech XXXIX 'The word dick itself serves as a a model for two variants which are probably Midwestern, dirk and dork, also meaning penis.

Def: 2. A foolish or stupid person; also a general term of contempt.

There is also a second occurance in the OED which is defined as ' an obscure form of Dark'

All in all this proves Ranjit completly wrong; it also disspells the wives tail he was referencing. I did this not soley to prove Ranjit wrong, but also to show him what it really means that that we are correct in calling someone a dork. In fact I will have to use it around him more often I think.
