After, believe it or not, a conversation with a marine biologist at Scripps, we determined that "dork" never referred to any scientific description of a whale member. About a year ago I had a bet with a friend regarding the "whale" definition. The phenomenon we're discussing isn't people using the word that way - nobody really does! - the phenomenon is people claiming that dork means "whale penis" on the basis of no empirical evidence whatsoever.Īctually, I believe the "whale" definition is simply a common, incorrect definition. Lastly, in answer to those who have tried to rebut these findings by arguing that if enough people use the word dork to mean "whale penis" then it's a valid definition, here's what's wrong with that argument. of Fisheries and Wildlife, John Calambokidis, senior research biologist and co-founder of Cascadia Research, Phillip Clapham of the National Marine Mammal Laboratory and author Richard Ellis (The Book of Whales, Men and Whales, Encyclopedia of the Sea, etc.) - all of whom told me they had never seen nor heard the word dork used in reference to a whale's reproductive anatomy - ever.
