Some "-irk" words, plus some "-ir-"s,
because there are so many disturbingly pretty Kirks
___________________
Etymology of the irks:
: 1560s, "quibble, evasion," of unknown origin, perhaps connected to German quer (see queer
(adj.)) via notion of twisting and slanting; Perhaps originally a technical term for a twist or flourish in
weaving.
shirk (v.): 1630s, "to practice fraud or trickery,"perhaps from German schurke "scoundrel, rogue, knave, villain" (see shark (n.)).
smirk (v.): Old English smearcian "to smile." ... probably related to smerian "to laugh at, scorn,"

I hadn't seen a Kirk in a while. My first thought was "I hate him" because = too pretty! The first one really looks like Columbo. That is a Columbo furrow.
ReplyDeleteIt is almost painful, going through trekcore for pictures, due to the onslaught of Kirk.
ReplyDeleteIt's weird, but I've noticed that at *certain* angles Shatner does look a little like Falk (though he's generally much prettier).
