berks
Annoying British twits
Berks is British slang for idiots or fools, the plural of berk.
The word derives from Cockney rhyming slang—Berkeley Hunt, rhyming with cunt—though most users are unaware of this origin, which has softened its impact considerably.
It now functions as a mild insult: Those berks in accounting lost the paperwork again.
