I laughed when my kids were growing up and would come home from school with the latest new word or phrase the learned,not know the true meaning of them.
My oldest daughter calls my son a "dork"!
I asked her if she knew what that meant and she said no!
Then "scumbag" came along by one of the kids and I asked again if he/she know what it meant! "No"!!
Thinking about it now I guess one could say a dork fits inside a scumbag but the scumbag doesn't become a scumbag until the dork is finished doing what it's supposed to do!!
Or would you consider a scumbag is a scumbag even if it wasn't on a dork and or the dork doesn't necessarily have to finish doing what it's supposed to do?

"dork" and "scumbag" have different meanings when you look them up in the dictionary. I think that's what connrock is saying. People use these words and don't even realize what they're REALLY saying.

Ha ha! I looked them up, but all I found was 'Dorking: a domestic fowl of a breed having a heavy body and raised chiefly for table use.' Unless a scumbag is a bag you put all your scum in.

Okay, I knew the definition of dork, but I did not know the definition of scumbag. I'd say a scumbag is a scumbag whether the dork is "finished" or not. KD - type the word on the top right, the definitions will appear on the page below it (scroll past the ads).

Well I may be a tad older then some of you so I will define these 2 words as best I can without making anyone blush.
Dork= male sex organ
scumbag= a condom

scumbag I knew, but not dork - but the not so subtle hints made it pretty obvious... :-)
