Origin & Usage

The Berkeley Hunt is a real Gloucestershire fox hunt. The rhyme gave English the milder spin-off 'berk' (a fool) — most users have no idea they're saying a chopped-down cunt.

People Also Ask

Is calling someone a 'berk' actually rude?

Technically yes — it's the chopped front of 'Berkeley Hunt', Cockney rhyming slang for cunt. In practice the origin's so faded that 'berk' counts as mild, almost affectionate. Even kids' telly has got away with it.
