Different translations of the bible would suggest love and charity are synonmus. Examples found in.1st Corrinthians ch. 13 vs. 1-17 illustrate this many times. I would enjoy hearing from a scholar of the languages used in those past times to clarify my understanding. The story of the "World's Poorest Philanthropist", Gilbert "Harold" Ewing II (myself) is the reason for this querry. The " act of grace", or charity, reffered to in the news interview, has posited this question and I lack the sort of education to provide any insights of true value.

It's derived from the name of an Orangutang from the 19th century New England Zoo in Maine. He was owned by Sir Benjamin Rosebottom, an Englishman who emigrated to study at the zoo. Dork was taken away from his homeland in Bongo Bongoland after hunters killed his mother. While the hunters turned his mother in to a rather fetching throw, baby Dork was left to fend for himself. The hunters didn't have the heart to leave him or kill him and took pity. They took him with them, at first to be mascot, and sailed accross the Pacific.
Sailors being sailors and hunters being hunters, it wasn't long before they got Dork drunk on ale and rum. Dork would behave even worse than the average orangutang, defecating in the galley, climbing in to bed with the captain, running around the deck with the crew's underwear on his head - all the while with that daft Orangutang look on his face. The captain got very upset after waking up one morning, sharing a bed with a clearly hung over Dork who was clinging to him and making his bed sheets ever damper and smellier.
All hell broke loose in the captains quarters and the crew ran to investigate. Dork ran out of the cabin in to the arms of one of the crew while the rest of the blokes restrained the captain.
The captain was enraged and told the crew that the "scummy little monkey" was to be off the ship at the next port or he'd be overboard or roasted before the next day at sea was up.
From then onwards, whenever a new crew member infuriated the captain so much that he wanted blood, the crew would joke and say "We've got another Dork on board". The phrase caught on and spread accross New England and through the rest of the US and is now enjoyed by millions worldwide.

Slang. A stupid, inept, or foolish person. The earliest documented uses of the word "dork" is a 1961
Also, a whale's penis is called a dork

It originated as whalers' occupational slang for the penis of a whale, and by transfer became an anatomical insult, undergoing subsequent generalization and amelioration to its present meaning.
what it meant in the late seventies was a human body part, nerd, geek, idiot, generaly a word to make someone feel like crap, it has so many meanings depending on who you were using for.

ITs a slang term, I think from Norway, that refers to a Whale's penis. Not sure if its the Blue or Humpback though.
Dork also, refers to some that people consider ignorant, or that act stupid. Or, hence my nickname, cause I have a big ............☺
Cheers!
