Etymology
The term 'dork' originated in American slang in the 1960s, initially used to describe a person who might be socially inept and overly intellectual or overly focused on their interests to the point of being nearly oblivious to social norms. The term likely derived from 'dorkus,' itself possibly a variation of 'dorkus mallee' known as the common greenhouse gecko. By the 1980s, the usage of 'dork' became more widespread and was often used humorously or affectionately to refer to people with geeky traits. Over time, forms like 'dorky' emerged to describe traits associated with being a dork, and eventually, the comparative form 'dorkier' developed to express the notion of being more dorky than someone else. The rise of internet culture has also contributed to the popularization of the term, making it a common descriptor in discussions about social awkwardness and nerd culture.
