I decided to research the land of zurk, zork, zirk, zerk, and zark. Someone had to do it. Interestingly, different spellcheckers each have their own different subsets of pet peeves concerning these words. Though this page is somewhat humorous, it is also 100% factual.
Zark Definition and Usage
Looks like zark came into being, courtesy of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It can also be used as a swear word. Merely use it in place of the F-bomb, e.g., "That guy can zark off".Zerk Definition and Usage
A zerk is a grease fitting. Somehow I don’t think this particular definition will come up too often in conversations.Zerk is also another word for crazy; as in, “He went zerk when Zurk said no.”
Zerk can also be used to refer to acceleration and deceleration; examples being, we zerk when the light turns green and we zerk when we come to a stop sign.
Zerk can also be used as a verb, as in zerking from the scene.
Zirk Definition and Usage
The act of conning or taking advantage of someone. One can zirk someone; and one can be zirked by someone. Example, “I know he zirked me on that deal.”Zork Definition and Usage
