Dirking

/ˈdɜrkɪŋ/ verb

Definition

The present participle of dirk; the act of stabbing or wounding with a dirk.

Etymology

From the verb form of 'dirk,' following standard English -ing suffix rules for creating present participles.

Kelly Says

'Dirking' sounds weirdly casual for stabbing someone, which is exactly what happens when you turn violent actions into verbs—language sanitizes them just by changing the grammar.
