Does anyone know what burke means?

by Nic Haralambous on 21/08/2007

I didn’t so I have to ask if anyone else knows.

Watching TV last night Jen told me that she thought this girl on TV should change her name cause burke (her last name) meant something similar to a twat or idiot. I’d never heard of it.

Dictionary.com had nothing along those lines for Burke or Burk.

Google either when asking it to define:Burke or define:burk.

Urban dictionary however had a wide variety of results:

1. Burk: chronic liar, ass-hole, cum licking bastard
2. Burk: a male; a boy; anyone who has a Y chromosome
3. Burk: fresh, fragrant and full of vigour

Jen also pointed out how the first two directly relate to one another… hahaha. nice one.

Anyways, I thought this was interesting.

    I’ve only ever come across berk, which is an English equivalent of doos.
