What is a Herk?
Donald Rumsfeld is giving the President his daily herking. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, three Herkillan soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, herk in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a herkillion?"

5. Its origin does lie in a misspelling.

But of "jerk."

One of my friends was getting emotional yesterday on AIM and told me I was "JUST A BIG HERK!!"

:shrug:

I thought it made a good all-purpose word.

9. Wouldn't "jerk" be pronounced "herk" in Spanish?
Was your friend of an Hispanic background?
