A schoolyard classic. Someone calls you a dork. Standard schoolyard protocol is to respond with, “yeah, i know i’m a D.O.R.K.: Dynamite Out of sight Radical Kid!” Now how is it that the internet does not have this phrase anywhere in existence? (Zero results on google). Is the internet not a schoolyard of fun? The internet certainly is the schoolyard of fun. Therefore, this phrase; “Dynamite, Out of Sight, Radical Kid” needs to exist online.
It even has a nice rhythm to it. DynaMITE outtaSIGHT radical kid.
cha cha CHA
uh uh AH!
Wasn’t this a phrase that everyone said in response to being called a dork? Or am I living in another world? Much like where I thought everyone knows what a skelbow is.
Never heard of it.
Me either, but I’m ancient and that may have come around after my time, but dork was certainly around.
I think I learned that from you.
c’mon people! Dynamite Outtasight Radical Kid! D.O.R.K. That musta been a mid-80s south side of chicago thing.
someone else posted about this on March 9, 2005. I’m not going to link to it because they use a swear word in the post and I don’t like people swearing on the internet because there’s kids out there. And get this. The person is from Orland Park, Illinois. It’s totally a south sid thing. Do a google search for “dynamite outtasight radical kid” and the link will show up.
ha! spreading the joy of the D.O.R.K. acronym. I hope you are using it, Kelly! And you too, Tom! And you too, Cartophiliac! Y’all are my dorks!
whoa moose, i you totally commented while i was commenting, so you got left out of my dork comment. I invited the Orland Park blogger to comment on this post about where she heard about the meaning of D.O.R.K.
I couldn’t be happier to be one of your dork haha!
Ha, I don’t know what a skelbow is. 🙁
What’s a skelbow? My guess is the elbow of a skeleton! Ha ha!
