I live near an airbase and 'herk' is the nickname for the C-130 Hercules. Thats how I'm used to hearing it. I have no idea what the DU herk is.

4. I believe ZN hijacked the word when
he was on a board SOMEWHERE OTHER THAN DU, and the person with whom he was "conversing" called him (ZN) a "Herk Off" :rofl:

5. It was on AIM, actually.
But, yeah. It was originally a misspelling of "jerk." :D

7. THAT'S the piece of the puzzle I was missing!
I did not know that. Now it makes much more sense. "Mis-spelling of 'jerk.'"
