Actually in my part of the NW US dork would have made the list of
euphemisms when I was  much younger. But evidently since some kids
grow up calling people names without knowing what they mean, now you
see children scripted to use this word in TV shows. It always seemed
to refer to a person as that object though and usually not the object
itself and as opposed to calling someone a p***k was more like calling
them a really dumb oddball p***k or maybe a wanker.....
