Answer 1

How about -

I'm so sad ( because ) my doctor gave me ( some ) bad news.

that sounds like a good guess! - Desael, Aug 18, 2010

Indeed. You must be an expert code breaker. - lazarus1907, Aug 18, 2010

I meet many people with limited English. I'm to working out "wrong" words. - fontanero, Aug 18, 2010

And I have a young son, same thing sometimes. - fontanero, Aug 18, 2010

Save this one for the arguement that the profile needs to show native language ... Font, I believe you are right on. - LateToDinner, Aug 18, 2010

That should have read "I'm used to". - fontanero, Aug 19, 2010

Answer 2

Hello, and welcome to the forum. I am a native English speaker and have never heard that word before, and a Google search for it was not particularly enlightening. Judging by the grammar elsewhere in the sentence, I would guess that the person who wrote it is not a native English speaker, so maybe dorka is a word from the speaker's native language that he or she has thrown in.

Several people have suggested that it is a typo and that the person meant 'dork', but I don't think that's the case, because dork isn't really used in that context. One doesn't go about referring to anyone as 'one's dork'. That being said, I suppose it's possible, considering the speaker's other linguistic oddities.

You left out your usual introduction. - fontanero, Aug 18, 2010

I must be going soft... I just didn't want to send her on a wild goose chase for a word that doesn't exist in any dictionaries. I only post my traditional intro if it's something the person could do herself. - MacFadden, Aug 18, 2010

Answer 3

Dorka might also be a girl's name in Slavic languages (diminutive of Dora). Even though Dora is the short form of the name Dorota in Slovak, "dora" is commonly used if you want to say that a girl is foolish

I wonder if dork comes from the "foolish" meaning. - fontanero, Aug 18, 2010

Answer 4

I am thinking they might mean 'dork'. If that is the case, see this: Wikipedia Dork However, I have never heard it used quite like this. Usually, it would be used in the following manner: 'You are such a dork.' Hope this helps.
